Medicine is an exciting and personally fulfilling profession that offers a wide variety of career opportunities. In a single day, a physician can be a hero saving the life, a scientist on the frontier of knowledge, a teacher helping frightened patients understand their diseases, and a counselor guiding dying patients in their final days. Few professions can match medicine in terms of the impact it has on both individuals and on the community as a whole. Yet, this power also comes with a great responsibility.
Becoming a doctor is a long and difficult process. No where is this fact more evident than in the medical school admission process. While Leslie North, the Health Professions Advisor, is here to help you through this process and become the best candidate you can be, whether or not you are ultimately accepted into medical school is in your hands. You don't have to be "perfect" to get into medical school, but you do need to show good planning, self-direction, excellent time management, and initiative throughout the application process in order to be successful. This website is designed to give you some basic information on preparing for medical school at Hamilton and on the medical school application process. But, it is by no means comprehensive. If you are interested in a career in medicine or would like to begin the medical school application process, it is important that you make an appointment to see Leslie right away.
