Why Medical Course?

Read this article and you will know the answer for the above question.....

Medicine is one of those courses it is never too late to start studying. Whether you are already studying medicine or just planning to do so, you must have wondered what are the true reasons to enroll in this field, which is according to many the most responsible one there is.

Scientists have said that children as early as in the fifth grade already know what they would like to become, and that by the beginning of their college education they are only developing a vision of their future.

Before you determine what field you are interested in, you will have most certainly pondered all the pros and cons of your preferred course. On the other hand, a part of you will not have contemplated a few steps - or sometimes decades - in advance, but will have made the decision in the twinkling of an eye. In the end, there are no rules that would say one way is right, and the other one is not.

Plenty of opportunities upon graduating – This reason is rarely stressed properly, but it truly is so. After graduation, there is a broad range of opportunities for future job. In case you find none of the possibilities appealing, you can combine them or invent your own path of further specialization. Upon finishing medical college, you can choose to work in hospitals, science institutes, public health care or be part of the medical segment of some other science. There are doctors who are managing health care costs in economical sciences, or cooperate as a part of judicial sciences in proving medical errors and patients' rights.

Working with people – n course of your studies you will be able to improve this skill even if you do not have a particularly developed affinity towards working with people. During your studies, but also later in hospitals, you will meet a lot of people besides patients - patients' families, medical staff, technicians, administrators etc. As a part of you medical training you will also learn not to form bonds towards patients and their diagnoses or faiths, which is an extremely delicate problem especially when it comes to children.

Respect in society –Whether we want to admit it or not, doctors are always on the top of the social scale. Whether you go to the theater or to the cinema, you should know that you will be noticed. Not downright like Dr. Oz, but a certain part of people will pay attention to you too. This also represents a great responsibility because it is not seldom that a doctor is also a moral authority, especially in smaller places.

On the one hand, this could be a problem because some cannot bear this responsibility and cannot come to terms with the fact that they have lost a part of anonimity that majority of people has. On the other hand, this respect in society is a major factor while choosing the field of medicine for some people. The fact that a lot of doctors end up in politics and continue their careers as politicians supports this theory.

A great need for doctors - World needs more doctors. The situation in Europe is really good compared to some other continents like Asia or Africa. There are also differences in numbers and need for doctors in different European countries. A lot of EU countries that have forbidden or restricted employment of foreign citizens do not apply this decision on doctors. In most cases medicine students get a job sometimes even the very day they graduate.

Safe job, career, and lifestyle - Another not quite irrelevant reason to study medicine is a certain stability upon graduation. This reason is becoming even more prominent in countries still coping with recession and in a situation where it is becoming harder and harder for young people to find a job. In case this is your decisive reason for studying medicine, be aware that this is not an easy or a simple job, but a job with a lot of sacrifice and personal investment. Nevertheless, a job is waiting for you.

White coat -  This reason might seem funny to you, this may not even seem like a reason to study medicine to you, but as something irrelevant. Nevertheless, some students look forward to putting on their white coats during practicing in class. White coat, other than being a clothing item and a part of doctor's uniform, is also a representative of the order of the medical system, cleanliness of the job, and high hygiene standards. A tidy and clean coat is emitting a clear doctor's attitude towards patient. Precisely these reasons make the white coat one of the reasons to start studying medicine.

Tremendous versatility – Once you join the medical profession, there is endless scope for going into a diverse range of fields. You can choose from several different medical areas to specialise in, as well as several different healthcare settings to work in. You know as a doctor, there is never going to be a lack of job openings for you.

Tremendous responsibilities - As a doctor your patients’ health and very often, their life, is in your hands. Depending on your specialist, you could often find yourself having to make life saving decisions within split seconds. You have to be strong enough to be able to handle it and take the responsibility, whether things go right or wrong.

Ultimately the main reasons most medical students give for wanting to be a doctor is the immense job satisfaction associated with this profession.
