Pre-Medicine

A career in medicine might be right for you if you enjoy helping people with the skills and knowledge you have, enjoy learning constantly and in new ways, have a passion for how the body functions and how you, as a physician, can help your patients improve their quality of life. Health care is central to quality of life. You need only turn on the television to see stories about how medical personnel make a real difference all over the world. Few professions offer the challenges, self-satisfaction, and personal and financial compensations that people in the medical professions derive from their work. By 2017, almost one dollar in every five will be spent on health care, ensuring continuing and increasing demand for physicians and related medical personnel.
