While I know reading independently and for fun is beneficial to all individuals, I wanted to know if any (both fiction and non-fiction) books are quintessential to a pre-medical student?

For those of you who went to medical school but didn't major in a Science, what did you major in?

I want to become a pediatrician in the future, however, I've heard that just because you plan on going to medical school doesn't mean you have to major in a science. I would like to keep my options open and seeing what else people have majored in would help me do that. #college-major #medical-school

Nursing as Pre-med?

Taking any course can be your "pre-med" as long as you complete the pre-requisites of the med school you want to go to BUT is nursing a good "pre-med" thinking that it will show you the "feels" of becoming a doctor? #doctor #medicine #nursing #school #student #physicians #med
