How Hard Are You Willing to Work to Become a Doctor?

Welcome to the Beyond the Scope Podcast presented by ND MD. This podcast continues the mission of sharing the incredible stories and experiences of students, physicians, and healthcare professionals...but this time it's all about the things all those years of medical training doesn't prepare you for. Things that are beyond the scope of our practice.

Today I get to welcome back to the channel an old friend of mine who supported this podcast from the very beginning. From struggling with imposter syndrome, motivation, and academic identity in high school, Will has become an excellent example of the mantra that "hard work is greater than talent." Many feel because they were not inherently placed in gifted or honors classes throughout their educational journey that they are not worthy of the title of physician, and Will's story is here to encourage those with that frame of mind that the grade school system, and grades in general, are not a definition of your ability to be a courageous and caring doctor.
