Self Assessment

One of the most important things to follow when planning a medical career is to be harsh in judging yourself and your capabilities. When we mention ‘capabilities’, we do not mean ‘skills’ or ‘intelligence’, what it means is the strength of your will and persistence in becoming a doctor. It means to reflect on yourself and see whether you have the rock solid resolve to pursue in the path you choose against all the odds you will face, in all aspects, and still continue without completely regretting your choice.

Decision Making

One of the most important traits you need to develop or inculcate in yourself is the ability to make quick and clear decisions without being prejudiced or simply because of arrogance. You must be able to take into picture, all the known and unknown factors, weigh your options, consider all possible outcomes and prepare accordingly. A good doctor is assessed by his ability to think quickly on his feet in the most dire of consequences and stand by it.

Research

Becoming a doctor, must be a choice made by you and you alone. Before planning anything, you must understand what this field of professionalism demands of you and what you can expect when you step into this field. Talk to experienced doctors about their view on their career choices and how they got to where they are. Understand what it’s like to be a doctor by volunteering at medical facilities.
