Description
A medical degree offers career opportunities that are unmatched by any other profession, yet the career guidance offered in medical schools is limited in variety, detail, and scope. Many medical students graduate with no idea of their future career aims. In "So you want to be a brain surgeon?: A medical Careers Guide" over 90 experts from an enormous range of medical specialities present information on the medical path they have chosen. Each section gives the reader a genuine feel of what it's like to do work in a particular area. The information is presented in an entertaining and easily accessible manner to enable a rapid comparison to be made of different jobs. The authors provide advice on the qualities needed, the competition for places in their fields, available salaries, stress levels, and the pros and cons of pursuing their speciality. Also included are contact addresses to enable the interested reader to obtain more information on a particular area. The book will be an invaluable guide for all medical students, and will be of great interest to those considering pursuing a medical degree.
