How will technological advances change how medicine is practiced when I become a doctor?
I am seeing robotic technology that allows doctors to do surgery remotely and this seems like a completely different type of training than what I thought I would be doing to be a surgeon. It is exciting, but I hope that I don't get my education only to find technology has left me behind....
