Episode 6: The Big Picture

In this episode, we explore the big picture of what it takes to become a doctor in the U.S. We discuss the difference between allopatic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) doctors, what it means to be a primary care doctor vs. a specialist, how to make the most of college while fulfilling premedical requirements, the competitiveness of applying to medical school, how long it takes to become a doctor, how much it all costs, how much you can expect to make as a doctor, and non-traditional paths to becoming a doctor. We share some of our own experiences to help you make sense of it all. If you are about to start college or already in college, this episode is a must!
