Would working as a CNA during college improve my chances of getting into medical school?

I have a nursing assistant certification and would like to work during college. I know this is good experience, but would it make any difference in getting into medical school? #college #medicine #nursing #medical-school

Is it worth going through the long years of medical school and residency along with the expenses to become a pediatrician?

I have heard that once you graduate out of medical school and finish your residency, you are in debt and it is often hard to find a job opening. Is this true? #pediatrics #pediatrician #medical-school #medical-education #student-loans #debt
