How do you know...

<p>How do you know you have what it takes to go into a career in medicine? I have an interest but how do I know I'm capable? It's a silly question but it's a difficult career --- is it possible to know you'll be no good at it?</p>

<p>Well, there’s no real way you can know unless you’re doing it, but there are ways I guess you can try and figure out if it’s the right path for you.</p>

<p>First off, the person who knows yourself best is you. Do you think you’re capable of being a doctor? Do you think you can do whatever you plan to in the career of medicine?</p>

<p>Other than that, just try to get experience and see if it’s something that fits with you. Volunteer in a hospital. Shadow a doctor. Volunteer at a health fair. You’ll get a more accurate idea of what a career in medicine would be like. Then, you can see if it is something you can do.</p>

<p>Hope that helps.</p>
