How do I figure out what job in the medical field would best suit me?
I’ve been interested in pediatrics, or dentistry, but I’m not sure. There are a lot of medical careers out there. I want to make sure I’m making the right choice.

Well, I'd say that any medical field has a sense of satisfaction and joy especially when you get to treat patients and see them recover. There is no greater joy.
Since you have your desire around pediatrics or dentistry,which i must say are good choices,my advice would be simple.
You can take dentistry for example and then major on pediatric dentistry. This way you get to interact with the little one as you take care of their little smiles.
Personally as a dentist,i love dealing with kids mostly as they are easy to deal with,also they provide a sense of responsibility where i feel the need to protect them from the fear of unknown in the field of dentistry. As you know most people actually are afraid of dentists.
All the best to you Isabel.

Here's a more encouraging version of your text:
The top tip I can share with you is to consider job shadowing. You'll find that many healthcare professionals are more than welcoming to students who wish to observe their work in various roles.
Start by narrowing down your options to a select few, then take the initiative to reach out to these offices with a request to job shadow. This hands-on experience will provide valuable insights, helping you to discover whether it's a career path you'd truly enjoy or not.
Remember to maintain a record of your contacts, and never forget to send a thank you note. This not only serves as a token of gratitude but also aids in building your professional network for the future.
Before you embark on your job shadowing journey, prepare a list of questions. This will ensure you make the most out of your experience and gain the knowledge you seek.

'How do you know what jobs best suits you in the medical field'.
You should ask yourself this questions and also have this at the back of your mind;
- what interests you ?
- what are your strengths ?
- what are your weaknesses
- How much do I want to earn ?
- where do I want to live ?
- what environment do I want to
work in ?
- Is a job I enjoy right for me ?
- what if I can't find a career that
best suits me ?
- Be patient and positive.
All this would guide you through out your job search, all you need to do is to think about all this I've mentioned and after giving it a deep thought, you'll know what is right for you and what is not. Always be patient and positive.
