Resident Barnes Jewish Hospital St. Louis, Missouri
Description: Did you ever think about going to medical school? What stopped you? Did you think that you couldn't get in, that it was too expensive, that it would take too long, or that they wouldn't accept a "street medic" into the hallowed halls of medicine? This lecture will review all of those questions and show you that with the right perseverance, you too can become a physician. Adding onto information borrowed from the popular lecture given by Baxter Larmon of UCLA (with permission, of course), my experience as an admissions committee member for medical school and residency will clarify how to go about this sometimes confusion and seemingly daunting process.
