For Future Medical Students November 23, 2009
Ejames LIEBERMAN (Potomac, Maryland United States)
Dr. Heller, an accomplished interviewer and writer with wide-ranging experience in medicine and pediatrics, has authored an excellent guide for students heading toward a career in medicine. Ours is a changing profession--diverse, complex and rewarding. Heathcare reform is needed and should change the profession further and for the better. Meanwhile this collection of facts, interviews, and guiding questions will help those en route to, or even imagining, being a physician. Their parents, teachers, and guidance counselors will find it useful, too.
