Hey,

If you've been receiving these Letters from the Doc from the beginning, then by now you should have a much better understanding of whether a career in medical science is for you or not.

The strategy I'm going to share with you today is not intended to trick or fool medical school reviewers.

They're all geniuses with decades of experience. They're the gate-watchers of the medical world, and even if someone does get through the gates (somehow), this career path has a brilliant way of weeding out the losers during med-school itself.

That's why there's such high drop-out statistics, and if someone drops-out they waste LITERALLY tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention an entire year of their life.

So it's important to be very sure.

Ok. I had to say that before I share this precious secret with you.

I want to run a scenario past you, and please slow your brain down, and read every sentence carefully, and take time to imagine the scenes in detail.

The following is a true story...

I want to introduce Stefanie to you.

She followed the following steps to kick-start her medical career:

Step 1:
She purchased The Apprentice Doctor Courses. In her country, the course was more expensive because of the exchange rate.

Step 2:
She took two weeks and completely worked through the interactive CD-ROM, step-by-step, meticulously.

Step 3:
When she was finished, she went to a hospital near her home and showed her certificate to the manager, who hired her to help out with basic medical tasks after school.

Step 4:
She studied hard, and every other day after school, she would work at the hospital, using what she had learned in The Apprentice Doctor Medical Course.

Step 5:
She started her pre-medical studies.

Step 6:
She passed her Medical School Admissions Test

Step 7:
When she applied to medical school, she was met with extremely fierce competition, as is the case every year. Although her grades were good, they were not as high as many of the other candidates.

Would you like to know what happened to Stefanie?

Well, find out next week, when I will be sending you part two of this story...

No, only joking. I wouldn't do that to you!

The medical-school's reviewer who was interviewing her looked precariously at her scores, periodically looking at her over the top of his glasses, perched on the edge of his nose. She says she felt very nervous.

A month later, she got a letter of acceptance from the medical school.

They commented on the fact that, although her scores were not as good as many of the other candidates, her service at her local hospital was the tipping point, the straw that broke the camel's back, which convinced them that she was well-suited for this lifestyle.

So let's run through this process, and why it worked...

Reason 1, you have certainty!

Many hospitals have a volunteer program. If you join their program, and spend time in a hospital, helping the staff and the patients, you'll get a good idea of whether or not that environment is for you.

Maybe you've got a fairytale idea about what it's like being a doctor. Doing this step will save you months and tens of thousands of dollars by giving you the real picture, before you direct your entire life into this direction.

Med-School interviewers also know that if you have volunteered at a hospital or a doctor's practice and you're still keen on following a career in medicine, you're obviously a better candidate than those who have not taken this step. That doesn't need explanation.

Reason 2, you have fans!

Another thing about Stefanie is that, the manager who hired her, as well as all the doctors and nurses that she helped over the course of the year, wrote letters of recommendation stating how talented she was at what she did, and how good she was with the patients, and how she loves people and wants to help.

She added a copy of these letters to her file that she presented to the medical school for review.

Some of these doctors and nurses had gone through the same medical school, and the reviewer took their letters very seriously.

If she hadn't worked at a hospital, she would not have had any of the above benefits.

Without The Apprentice Doctor Courses, she would not have had the skills to help out with basic daily medical procedures and tasks, so she would not have gotten the job.

She would not have been able to gain real-life practical experience on real patients.

She would not have been able to make as effective a decision as to whether this was TRULY what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

She would have simply been another wannabe med-school applicant with above average grades.

Do you know how it feels to practice real medical examinations using the medical instruments that you get with the package.

If only I could show you how much you'd learn, and how much it will help you in your quest to become a doctor.

All the best until next time,

Dr Anton

Agree

Yes I agree with you.
Hope I will be successful after that. Though with me I have a diploma in Orthopaedic medicine (Betweeen a nurse and a doctor), and in my country I would practice as a G.P to some extent. I desire so much to upgrade. I desire to do orthopaedic surgery. I am looking for ways of admission and financial support./ May be what you say will help.Thanks so much.I will go for it.

Hi Anjali

The How to Examine Patients Course and Kit - it helps if you know how to basic medical examinations like determining the heart and respiratory rates, blood pressure etc.
Yes - do the volunteer hospital program - it does look good on a CV!

which course?

that was a realli inspiring story butt what i don't quite understand is which apprentice doctor medical course she had purchased as there are a few listed on the website such as "how to examine patients" or "how to stitch up wounds" or if it was something completely different! I'm at the beginning stage where I want to volunteer at a local hospital as well so i think this course would aid in that experience please help!

The answer is "no"...

Your academic results during your pre-med degree does weigh by far the most with regards to one being selected for medical school!

??

will the fact that I dropped out of High School when I was 17 and got my G.E.D, affect my chances of becoming a Doctor?

My little sister thinks I'm studying about doctors too much, but after reading this letter I want to keep on doing that. I'm going to get my dad to get the How To Examine P[atients Kit!

Volunteer program

Although some experience as a volunteer in a hospital will count in your favor - in the final analysis your academic results during your pre-med degree does weigh by far the most with regards to one being selected for medical school!

Hello

I read this letter and it was very helpful, it answered a few of my questions. However, there is still something that i want to know; what if your a good student and you really want to be a doctor but you can't volunteer at a hospital because there isn't one near where you live? Than it wouldn't be fair if you don't get accepted just because you didn't volunteer to help in a hospital. I would love to help at a hospital and get trained but i just can't. I am living in Lawrenceburg and I attend University of Kentucky. I drive back and forth; it's not possible for me to volunteer at a doctor's office or hospital because there isn't one nearby. I think that a studen't grades should be looked at more closly when selecting them.

My ambition/dream!

This is a great letter! I have dreamed all of my life of becoming a doctor. This letter really shows an inquisitive matter. The secret was very good and the story of the girl Stephanie was delighting and gave you a feel to the related matter that this was real! I have now considered on purchasing the Medical Course now!

Brilliant

Thanks for that info. I've made an appointment with the hospital manager near my house, so I will try volunteer as often as I can. I'm excited. By the way I did the Foundation course and loved every minute of it.
