In terms of selecting a minor, which would be most helpful for someone entering the medical field?
I plan to enter the medical field following college and graduate school as I'd like to be an anesthesiologist, dermatologist or dentist. I feel secure in my selected major, but I'm not set on a minor yet and I'd like some feedback on what would help me the most while still allowing me to feel like my life isn't just consumed by school. #college #doctor #professor #student #advice #dentist #advisor

Hi Tyra!
Minors are a great way to enhance the knowledge you gain in your major, and there really are a variety of approaches you can take when selecting one. Are there any additional subjects that might be of a more personal interest to you? For example, if you are interested in studying a foreign language, a minor may provide you with the opportunity to do so without taking away from your core courses. Or do you feel you want to specialize your major in some way? Perhaps a minor in psychology or business could give you a more expanded view of the medical field. Thankfully, the minor you decide on will only add to your knowledge, so in my opinion, there really is no "wrong" selection. If you think a particular subject will enhance your skills and provide you with a meaningful experience, then go for it!
I hope this helps! Wishing you all the best in your professional and academic endeavors.
