"On Becoming A Doctor" Part 3
In "On Becoming a Doctor" by Tania
Heller, she guides you on advice on what study of the medical field and how to
become a doctor. This Non-fictional book has three different sections, starting
with the Prologue; then moving onto the interviews. Lastly, Heller has another
section for a review. In the Prologue, she conversates with other doctors.
In the last section of the
book, Tania reviews the book and interviews. Heller recommends you to read this
book before you look at the questions to know more in depth of what she is expressing.
One of the questions says, "In order to be accepted into medical school,
do you have to major in one of the sciences?", the question is then
answered by saying " No, it is not necessary to major in the sciences,
although many students do so."(pg. 193, question 1). This is very
intriguing to me because even though I love science, the people that don't,
they do not have to graduate with that major. The only horrible thing is, the
other student most likely has so they will have their science requirements in
already. Whereas, the person that doesn't has to come in later and take those
required majors in science. Another interesting question that was answered was,
"I am a college freshman interested in applying to medical school. Do you
have any advice on asking for recommendations?"(pg. 194, question 1). The
reply is, "It’s never too early to begin the process. Talk to your
lecturers, mentors, or professors who really know you well and can speak to
your knowledge, work ethic, and character. Ask if they would be willing to
write letters for you. If you sense hesitation, its best to pursue other
options." This answer and question is very helpful because, it helps me
think ahead as a freshman in college and think about recommendations from math
and science teachers now or keep some in mind for the future.

This is very good advice. Well done.
ReplyDeleteTo start off Your introduction is great it sounds very professional. The way you set up your paragraphs. They were in order logically From start to finish. You have made the book more interesting. Who knew you had to take so many classes to become a doctor. I didn't know you had to major in science to become a doctor. Did you know that it take three to seven years to get the highest major in medical school. I also like that you made the story in the perspective of a freshman in college. I'm sure consistence will get this freshman out of college and into the real medical field.
