Hey everyone, could you all help me by answering a few questions? I'm currently interning for the Gesundheit Institute, started by a doctor named Patch Adams. I currently working to create a four year pre-med scholars program and I'm trying to see if there would be a general interest in something like this. If I could get your feedback it would be greatly appreciated!

1. As a Pre-Med student do you feel like you're a part of a community?

2. Do you feel as in touch with the medical field as you would like to?

3. Do you wish you had more of a personal advisor who could help guide you throughout undergrad?

4. Do you wish you could have more opportunities to interact with students as well as doctors who share your goals and ideals?

5. Are your career goals oriented towards philanthropy?

If you could answer any or all of the questions, it would be a great help to me. Thank you!

1. As a Pre-Med student do you feel like you're a part of a community?
No, I find most pre-med's anti-social and thus anti-community.
2. Do you feel as in touch with the medical field as you would like to?
I don't get the question.
3. Do you wish you had more of a personal advisor who could help guide you throughout undergrad?
Most advisers aren't very helpful. I feel as if most of the college thing is about figuring out how to manage everything yourself.

4. Do you wish you could have more opportunities to interact with students as well as doctors who share your goals and ideals?
Doctors don't have my goals as they have accomplished them. As I said before, I have rather limited interest in interacting with pre-med student's.

5. Are your career goals oriented towards philanthropy?
I feel as if that word has a rather negative connotation negative. But yes, medicine is a job. If you act like it's not then your lying to yourself.

If you could answer any or all of the questions, it would be a great help to me. Thank you!

Being blunt most pre-med students are really anti-social. My group of people are the philosophy/ humanities/ social science people. Pre-med's at my school tend to be so boring and uninteresting. Like I remember talking to this girl about a sociological topic and she just didn't know what on earth I was talking about. It's simply bothersome when you talk to people who might have a strong science capacity but other then that lack interest in the culture's or things like that.

Dr. Patch Adams, whose vision of health care according to the Gesundheit Institute website includes

Allopathic doctors and practitioners of alternative medicine will work side by side. If you think that all sounds like a utopian impossibility, it isn't.

Allopathic medicine, including surgery, ob/gyn, pediatrics, internal medicine, family practice and psychiatry, will work hand in hand with complementary medicine, including acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, ayurvedic, anthroposophic, herbal, body work and faith healing.

So initial interviews with patients were three to four hours long, so that we could fall in love with each other.

Quite an interesting organization to be running a "premedical scholars program"

"Pre-med community" is an oxymoron. Even if it were a reality, it would be a horrifying, soul-sucking prospect
