How can I, as a med student, honor my passions and still give myself permission to rest without guilt? Any advice or strategies would mean so much — I really want to find a balance that works. 💛
I’m a med student, and I’ve made up my mind that any spare time I have, I want to put effort into my other passions — filmmaking, writing, acting, and ambassadorship. But saying it out loud now makes me wonder… will I even have space to just relax? I know my free time will be so limited, and I worry that if I take a moment to rest, I’ll feel guilty for not being productive. These passions are such a big part of who I am, and I want to honor them even while I focus on becoming a doctor, but I also want to be able to rest without constantly worrying that I’m wasting time, running out of time, or not using my time wisely. I’d be so grateful for any advice or tips on how to honor my passions while also giving myself permission to rest and recharge without guilt. Your guidance would mean so much to me and really help me find a balance that works. 💛
How do people with big creative dreams manage to thrive in medicine without burning out?
I just got into college to study medicine 🎉, and today my mom and I went for my clearance and a short tour around my faculty. Meeting some of the medical students made everything feel so real — and honestly, a little overwhelming. I learned that I won’t start my core medical lectures until 200 level, but once I do, it gets very intense: no long breaks, few holidays, and long hours of study and practicals. Hearing all that made me start thinking deeply about how I’ll combine my medical career with the other things I’m passionate about — filmmaking, storytelling, writing, acting, and ambassadorship. Medicine is my main path because I truly love helping people, but those creative dreams also mean a lot to me. How can I begin building these other parts of myself now, during my pre-med year, and still stay focused enough to succeed in medicine later on? I’d really appreciate any advice from people who’ve juggled multiple passions or careers. 💫
What’s the best way to start pursuing multiple passions — like medicine, filmmaking, writing, acting, and ambassadorship — while still giving enough focus to my main career path in medicine How can I grow in all these areas without burning out or losing direction??
Hi everyone! I’m starting college this Friday to study medicine — becoming a doctor has always been one of my biggest dreams. But I’ve also had a deep love for storytelling, creativity, and leadership. I hope to one day produce films and documentaries that inspire people, write books, act in meaningful stories, and serve as an ambassador representing positive change. Sometimes I wonder how to balance these passions with my main focus on medicine — and how to begin each journey without feeling overwhelmed. I really want to make an impact in every field I’m passionate about, so I’d love some advice from those who’ve walked a similar path! 💫

What are some job prospects for a Neuroscience major?
I'm entering college in the fall and planning to major in Neuroscience on a pre-med track. Just in case I don't pursue going to medical school, I was wondering if there are any job prospects for this major, like a back-up plan? In all honesty, I'm fearful that I might pursue the wrong major and end up with no job prospects after college UNLESS I go to medical school (which I'm not yet entirely sure if I really want to commit to another 10+ years of schooling). Any advice is appreciated, thank you! #medicine #college #major #premed #medicalschool #healthcare #neuroscience #college-major #medical #technology #stem

Biotechnology vs Biomedicine vs Bioinformatics
Hello everyone, i'am a non-traditional student and i'am transferring to a for year with an ultimate goal of applying to Medical school. However, I'am having a difficult time choosing a transfer major, at my home institution I've already completed a large majority of science courses from Mircobio to Physics. Since I've completed these courses, its only befitting for me to choose a major that will uptake my current credits. The majors of interest are biotechnology, biomedicine and bioinformatics. Now, although I've researched the hell out of these majors, i still don't know what a typical work day would look like for either profession or if it is a profitable and complementary pathway to my ultimate goals. Someone please help, if you are in any of these fields. Thank you in advance #college-major #biotechnology #bioinformatics #biomedicine #Premed #Medicalschool #college-major

In 2018, are women still underrepresented in the medical field?
I know that in the past women have been underrepresented in basically all STEM fields but it seems like more women are beginning to enter professions that are traditionally “male-dominated” such as medicine. So my question is: in 2018 do men still significantly outnumber women in medical schools in the United States? #womeninscience #medicine #medicalschool
