Medical school is definitely not easy (from what I've heard anyway. Never experienced it myself.) If you aren't even willing to do the work in the book, it's definitely not for you. I wish there were other tools out there like this for other professions when I was growing up!kfwilson6 wrote: ↑23 Apr 2018, 14:36 What an interesting concept. I'm glad you commented about the illustrations because just the cover art made me think this was for a younger audience. It is so hard to decide at that age what you want to do for your whole adult life. It's great that there is a tool, especially for such a hard subject matter. Pre-med is not an easy major and requires much commitment. If this book can help teens determine before declaring a major that they are or are not committed enough, it could save them wasted time and effort.

It's not necessarily meant to be a practical book. But it would be great for medical students. Thanks for commenting.

I think this book is an admirable tool for aspiring medical practitioners. It can give students a feel for what they can (ability) and will (willingness) do. I agree that it should be more intended-user-friendly, though.
Thanks for your careful investigation of this book, Kandscreeley!
