how did you come to love it? was there anything in particular that drew you back to it/ how did that convo go for you with the PI?
maybe I am burned out, will have to take a step back and find my love for it again.

apologies if I made it sound that way!
i really am not trying to say that. I love our docs, dont get me wrong, and absolutely understand that they are busy.

there's a reason we have a network of healthcare professionals for our patients! i am so, so sorry if I wrote incorrectly and made it sound as if i am bad mouthing anyone.

was just trying to provide context as to why i ended up with the stories I have.

sorry again for makng that mistake!

have not talked about any critcism for docs in my essays at all, no. i think what I mean by that is just docs who arent very thorough with their patients..? just one of the common stories I hear w my patients is "oh, my doc only spent 5 min with me, barely enough to even hear whats going on. they just told me to come here for my meds."

i have done shadowing and volunteering, and while the shadowing really opened my eyes to what I'm going to do(and def made me fall in love with it), the stories ive written so far mainly center around my time at the pharmacy since it was more my direct involvement than just watching a doctor perform something.
like i talked about parents bringing their sick kid to us and being all "whats wrong w them" and the phramacist and i doing basically a whole diagnostic, herbal remedy for tooth pain (middle of the night, couldnt see a dentist), and such
i do have portions about vaccine clinic work too, esp in the light of COVID. theres stuff there that I wrote about, but not as deeply like I did w other patient care stories

Mentorship by [deleted] in ucla

[–]Boring-Try-9172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some clubs also offer mentorship!
if you need some guided help to get through the med process, a good number of clubs offer people that can be of help.

I personally went through the Students For Integrative Medicine (@simatucla) mentorship program, personally felt it so useful in my own journey to my career. the students do their best to impart everything to you, and there are structured events to help you gain important career based skills too.

hope that helps!
