I’m currently a rising junior biology (pre-med) major. I’m in an early medical school selection program that’s part of Boston University Schoo of Medicine. I’m interested in either being an OB/GYN, family physician, or something related to oncology or oncology & women’s health. I’ve never shadowed a doctor before, so I don’t know what to expect. I also have never seen a surgery in person or performed a surgery myself.
I sometimes wonder will it take a lot of mental and emotional energy to do surgery? What will clinical rotations be like in medical school?
I’ve also wondered is it hard to see sick patients in a hospital or clinic everyday? I really want to know how to have an effective and positive doctor-patient relationship with future patients.
Last thing, I just really want to be successful and happy being a doctor. I’m a person who has a history of anxiety and overthinking/over analyzing stuff. I know that I have a very long journey to go, but I can’t help but be anxious about the future. Any advice for this?
