I would like to take a moment to talk to all of you who suggested to the individual that they give up their path to medicine and move on to another. While you ~may~ have had good intentions, at the end of the day it is not your business, whatsoever, what choice this person makes. How many of you have been told to give up and move on, yet pursue the career despite its struggles?? If not all of you, I'm 100% sure it will happen to each and every person one day. So why would you go out of your way to suggest it to a fellow student? If your advice does not pertain to what the person is asking and is simply telling them to explore other options, I think many (if not all) of us would politely ask you to keep that to yourself. If you wish to give up on this career just because of its struggle, go ahead, but don't ask others.
This should be a place of helping one another, spreading kindness & support and overall a supporting community. I, for one, have grown extremely tired of hearing/reading "explore other options" "medicine isn't for you obviously" and "you dug yourself quite the hole". Unless you would follow that advice had some on the internet had offered it, I don't see why you would give it to someone.
All in all, I gave my piece and I hope I haven't offended anyone. We're all in this together and I wish us all the best. To the individual who started this thread, there are many programs meant specific to enhance pre-health grades, there are also masters programs (such as Masters of Biomedical Science programs) that are meant to help you as well as prepare you for your professional career. In fact, many programs have agreements with medical schools to have a guaranteed interview ( so long as you maintain a good GPA). A quick Google Search of " pre-health grade enhancement" " masters of biomedical science programs" etc, will definitely get you started on your search! Best of luck!
