With the EBAU around the corner, the aspirants to the medical career They are in the final ‘sprint’ of study to achieve the necessary grade that will lead them to achieve their goal. Although punctuation is important, current generation of undergraduate students agrees that those interested in accessing said training must have a series of skills fundamentals, such as perseverancethe mental stability and, of course, the vocation.
Before Lucia Morala current second-year student, entered the Degree, he had already been warned about certain characteristics that he had to meet, such as be disciplined and have a great willpower; But during his first course he realized that there were others equally or more important than those. “One has to to be organizedresponsible and be aware that you are studying a career in which you are going to deal with peopleand that is going to require many quite important skills from you,” he told Medical Writing.
Once you get into Medicine, everyone the applicants row towards the same goal: become doctors. To get it, Miguel Jimeneza first-year student, has highlighted that the “social factor” has a “great weight”, since, with colleagues and friends, overcoming the race becomes “much easier.” “When you unload all the weight you are holding onto several people, or when you help each other tackle it, it seems that the path is simpler and lighterespecially since it is a long and very arduous race,” he reported.
Does the vocation matter when studying Medicine?
Although some of the students who have participated in this report affirm that the vocation is essential to study Medicine, others they are not so clear. It is the case of Juan Rodriguez, a first-year student, who emphasizes that, at first, “it is not necessary” to have that ‘love’ for the profession. “I think that no one comes in completely convincedno matter how much it is said. There are always doubts since it is a long and hard training and, during the race, you see if this is your thing or not. For example, in the first year, you start to see corpses, you get an emotional shock and you wonder if this profession is yours,” he explained.
Inside the universitiesteachers also value positively certain characteristics that students show during their training, such as “desire” to go to classhe interest for the matter or own participation in the classroom. In this sense, Patricia Mota, who is studying first, does recognize that, although all the skills of future doctors “are valued”, those of those people who show a “greater” interest in the profession do stand out, and who are reflected during your time studying.
