Dating in Med School: What to Expect & How to Make It Work

Located in the burgeoning city of Nashville, our department offers exceptional exposure to all sites of disease, particularly Head and Neck, CNS, and GI malignancies. During the 4-week rotation, you will have the opportunity to work with several attending physicians and their residents. Students will take an active role in the initial evaluation, work-up, discussion of treatment options, and development of radiation treatment plans for patients seen in consultation.

Students will also attend daily education conferences including didactic lessons with the residents, journal club, and case presentations. At the end of the 4-week rotation, visiting students will give an oral presentation on a relevant topic.

For example, choosing a biology major will result in a greater degree of overlap between your major and medical school requirements, and ultimately a smaller course load which may translate to better grades. That being said, there is a greater number of premeds majoring in bio, and competition will be higher and more cutthroat than many other majors.

Set up a regular exercise routine, establish your social circle, and properly adjust to this new chapter of your life. In the second half of your freshman year, begin seeking out relevant extracurriculars that are related to your interests and passion for medicine. By securing a position early on, I had ample time to secure a publication and two abstracts before I applied to medical school. This is important.
