For those of you who are late into your education as an OBGYN, how difficult was it? What was particularly challenging? Could an average person do it? I like to work hard and get good grades, I currently am in my second undergrad year at a mid level public uni in Michigan with a 3.6. I am suddenly thinking about becoming an OBGYN, because I am very, very interested in women's health. I am still considering programs such as NP or Nurse-Midwife, but part of me wants the "full" knowledge. I need a HUGE vote of confidence, however- what were your undergraduate classes like? Graduate? Residency! Please, I'd LOVE to hear your experiences.
Thank you kindly,
Lindsay

I think most people can be a doctor(whether it be ob/gyn, Gen. surgery, or IM)...it is just how bad you want it. I was a Chem major so the word P.Chem still sends me into a state of shock :laugh: . It is not easy but I think if you work hard and don't give up you can do it!
