Hello!
I wanted to know if I decide to apply to the UC Prime Program and get in, would I have to go into primary care? I still don't know what I want to do and wouldn't want to limit myself. Most of the students I've seen that are in Prime want to go into family medicine.
I want to serve the underserved and have made it a point in my application. It's what I'm passionate about, and I want to get a master's that will help me in health policy and public health. So the Prime program really matches up with that. But what if I'd rather go into surgery?
Also, if I choose not to do the PRIME program, will it reflect poorly on me despite having written in my application that I want to help the underserved? I still do, but what if I don't want to do it with that program? I just really want to be open to as many options as possible when I enter medical school.
Thanks so much for any advice you can give me!
