•What do you enjoy least?
•Do you feel the struggle to become a doctor is worth it?
•What regrets do you have about your decision to become a doctor, if any?
•What advice would you give someone who wants to be a doctor?
•Are you happy with your choice to become a doctor?
Having as big a cross-section of medical professionals to interview will give you the widest possible viewpoint of how difficult it is to become a doctor and what it’s like to actually be a doctor.
You will undoubtedly encounter those who are overly-negative about the process, as well as those who are overly-positive. That’s why a balance of opinions will help you achieve something close to the truth of the situation.
Compare the answers you get to what you know about yourself, in order to further examine if this is what you really want to do with your life. Every profession has its pluses and minuses – just make sure that a doctor’s are ones that you feel you can comfortably live with.
3.MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE DRIVE TO BE A DOCTOR
You will need to be extremely motivated to get through the arduous process to become a doctor. That motivation can only come from deep inside you – from the core of your “Why”.
In this final step, list all the reasons you want to become a doctor – and don’t be afraid to include prestige and high pay, the benefits I mentioned before. There’s nothing wrong with wanting those things, as long as that isn’t all you want out of your goal. List as many reasons as you can think of – keeping in mind the ones that you may have stumbled across when you interviewed other medical professionals.
When you’re finished, examine these reasons that define your “Why.” Take note of how those reasons make you feel. Do they make you excited to achieve your dream of being a doctor? Do they create the “fire in the belly” you’ll need to get through difficult medical school classes and long, endless hours as an intern?
The abstract goal of becoming a doctor isn’t going to be enough to drive you forward – the benefits of that goal are what will do the trick. Whether your objective is to help people, earn a good living, learn as much as you can about medicine and health, or some combination of all of these, it must inspire you and excite you enough so that you continue to move forward.
If you truly believe your “Why” is strong enough, you can move on to the second step. You should, however, keep that list of reasons you want to become a doctor in a safe place, so you can refer to it in the future when the going might get tough. Your “Why” will help you over the rough spots.
