Samenvatting:

Becoming a doctor is a rewarding, but difficult process.
The first major step? Getting accepted to medical school.

Drawing on her own experience and her years of advising hundreds of students, Dr. Famakinwa explains the importance of traits like integrity, empathy, and intellectual curiosity in medicine and how an aspiring doctor can work to develop these attributes.
