A Resource About Choosing a Career in Medicine


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     When young people write and ask how to prepare for a career in medicine,
I find myself wishing that I could sit down with each one personally to
discuss this important career decision.  Despite many of the changes that are
current in medicine today, as with so much else in our lives, I don't know of
any other career that could have brought me the personal satisfaction and
inner rewards that my life in medicine has.  And so I have no reservations in
recommending a similar career to others.
     And now I have a new resource for all of the parents, grandparents and
students themselves, to help provide the answer to their questions, and
additionally indicate other publications that help in making the decision and
preparing for medical education.  It is called "Considering a Career in Family
Medicine" and it is yours, free for the asking.  Simply write to:
"Considering a Career in Family Medicine", Publications Order Department,
American Academy of Family Medicine, 8880 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, MO 64114.
It provides the answers to many of the questions that you have addressed to
me, and I am pleased that now you may obtain the answers.
