2) Don’t put your life on pause. You were a human before you were a medical student. It’s easy to forget that.
3) See the problems you observe as opportunities to make a difference and have impact on the field and the profession. Express deference, but imagine yourself as a changemaker.
4) Aspire to deeply understand the roles of other healthcare professionals on the team. Medicine is a team sport. An understanding of others on the team will enable you to work with others to make a bigger difference.
5) Narrow your extracurricular focus to no more than 1 activity. Anything more will dilute your medical education—and your time as a student is a time that will never come back.What is your advice for new medical students?”
