Hi, I am Paul, I am a graduate student from Western University back in Canada. I graduated this year and I came here to work as an intern at the Metropolitan General Hospital. I came here to intern because I wasn’t really sure about why I wanted to become a doctor or the specialties I was really interested in. I think this really helped to get a perspective on what kind of specialties I am really interested in, what different specialties do and how these doctors live on their lives. I think this really helped me out in learning why I want to become a doctor and the specialty I want to follow. |
