I don’t know what it’s like in North America but in the UK pretty much everyone who gets their medical degree gets a job to start with (no ness where or what ou want) but then jobs after that depend on other above and beyond stuff and saying you aced your basic sciences/pre-clinical would count… as would all the extra-curricular stuff you have going

I admire your work ethic a lot Jen, I wish I could be as motivated with my postgrad exams… any tips? ;)

I would think that if you're not working your butt off, trying to learn absolutely everything you can and gain as much knowledge as you can, you're not becoming a doctor for the right reason at all. Anyone happy to get by with a C at this stage, seems like a big fat phoney to me. Even with my program, whenever I feel like slacking or taking the easy route, I think "well..I am actually going to need to know this stuff to be compentent in my career" and I hit the books. For students in your situation I'd think that would be even more important (like 100 times more important. Thoughtful learning throughout your years in medschool and crazy cramming to pass some exam at the end are not even comparable. Do people actually say that stuff??
