Becoming a doctor or surgeon is great, but it isn’t for everyone. Here are 4 ways you know it’s not for you. First, if the main reason you’re going to medical school is due to parental pressure, you will find yourself unhappy at some point in your journey to becoming a doctor.

Second, if you’re hoping that you don’t have to interact with people much because you are choosing a specialty with little clinic time, understand that social interaction is a core component of effective healthcare – both in dealing with patients but also the other members of the healthcare team. Third, becoming a doctor is less about intelligence and more about work ethic, so you shouldn’t shy away from grinding it out for long periods of time.

And last, medicine should be your primary focus, at least during your premed, medical school, and residency years. As an attending physician you have more flexibility with your time, but until then, medicine must be a central focus.
