While studying to become a doctor, did you ever feel like you weren't smart enough for this profession? And if you did, how did you overcome that feeling? Cuz undergrad has this amazing way of reminding me I'm not as smart as I want to be and it feels like a dead end sometimes...

Thank you for your question!

I don’t feel smart ALL OF THE TIME!

In medicine, you are surrounded by some of the most intelligent minds our society has to offer. But being smart is not always the mark of a great doctor. A great doctor is passionate, hardworking and thirsts for knowledge. You have to be willing to put in the work, more work than anyone else, but it doesn’t matter because this is what you were meant to do, or at least that is what I told myself.  

I was never the top of my class or did I ever get the highest score on any of my medical school exams. I did well in undergrad and medical school, I passed my exams and made it to where I am today. If you are passing your classes and scoring well on your exams then I think you are well on your way to becoming a doctor one day. Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm really interested in becoming a doctor but everyone is telling me that it's too hard. Maybe they're right. How did you know you were smart enough?

I still don’t think I’m smart enough

You don’t necessarily need to be smart, it helps but it is not a requirement. You just need to the will and the drive and the capacity to work unbelievably hard to do well in school and on your exams. I knew nothing was going to keep me from becoming a doctor so I will work as hard as it takes to make that dream a reality.
