What do attending physicians say they regret time and time again? Recently, I had a call with a doctor who told me he wished he had more information when he was a premed and was considering the various paths his career could take.
He made the decision to go international for his training, which caused numerous hiccups and roadblocks in his residency training. ⚠️
Here is what you can learn from my dozens of consulting calls over the years, the patterns I’ve noticed, and specifically, what these people regret about the decisions they made as premeds.

![A career in medicine is not what you think it is
Burnout in medicine often comes from choosing the wrong specialty. Take the Specialty Quiz to find paths that fit your strengths and priorities: https://geni.us/specialty_quiz_kryqm
Dr. Gupta (@YashaGuptaMD ) discusses what practicing medicine feels like today and whether quitting medicine is worth considering. Do I agree? These are my takes on why it feels like so many doctors are quitting.

Use code WIDRADS for 20% off The Ultimate Premed & Medical Student Research Course: https://medschoolinsiders.com/all-courses/ultimate-premed-medical-student-research-course/
Welcome to another episode of Why I Didn’t… the mostly useless series where I tell you why I did NOT pursue a specific specialty. In this episode, I cover radiology.
As a radiologist, you’ll spend your shifts reading images that come in from all over the hospital, so you get to see a wide variety of pathologies. You get to be a puzzle solver, using the information you’ve learned from med school and residency, doctor’s clinical notes, and the image in front of you to determine what’s wrong. But the downside is you don’t get a whole lot of patient interaction, and you’ll spend a lot of your day in reading rooms staring at computer screens in near silence.
Overall, as a radiologist, you get the joy of critical thinking and medical diagnosis. You also get to avoid the pain of excess admin and paperwork, but there’s an often lonely price to pay, and only you can decide whether or not the pros outweigh the cons.
