AMCAS

This year, the AMCAS opens up on May 4th, and the first day for submission is May 31st. It’s imperative to get your application in as soon as you can due to the rolling admissions process. That means that applications are considered on a first-come-first-serve basis. The earlier you apply, the more spots are yet available. Before you hit that sacred submit button, use this checklist to ensure you’ve covered all your bases.

We must first acknowledge just how hard it is to be a doctor these days. Why is it so hard? Most doctors are burned out. Pressure is increasing to see more patients in less time (undermining the patient-physician relationship). Many doctors (and many pre-meds) are perfectionists who refuse to admit mistakes but inevitably make them anyway. Add to that a huge debt load from medical school and precious little time with family and friends, and it’s easy to see why doctors want out of their profession.
