I found the author very helpful in clarifying on whether or not this is the career path one should take. Granted, it wasn't the "ah-ha" moment of whether or not one should become a doctor. But it did clarify a lot of misunderstandings about what it takes to become a physician.

The author was very encouraging to those who decides to pursue this career goal.

A great book for those who don't know the first thing about what it takes to become a doctor.

I have read a couple of books on everything it takes to become a doctor and this one tops them all. This book goes into great detail about everything that you need to know about becoming a docor.

I am currently planning on going to medical school and this book proved a good overview of some major topics of interest.

Dr. Heller, an accomplished interviewer and writer with wide-ranging experience in medicine and pediatrics, has authored an excellent guide for students heading toward a career in medicine. Ours is a changing profession--diverse, complex and rewarding. Heathcare reform is needed and should change the profession further and for the better. Meanwhile this collection of facts, interviews, and guiding questions will help those en route to, or even imagining, being a physician. Their parents, teachers, and guidance counselors will find it useful, too.
