Thomas’s Answer

I was lucky that I had an Uncle that was a family practice doctor and an Aunt who was a nurse in the army during world war 2 in the south pacific so I was able to ask a lot of questions about what medicine was really like not what you see on TV. The best advice I would give is to really see what it is like to go into medicine by talking with doctors and nurses

Richard’s Answer

Don't stress too much about grades. They matter for people going into orthopedics or dermatology since those residencies are so competitive. If you are planning on a less competitive specialty, then just concentrate on learning the relevant information and keeping yourself healthy and happy.
