THE PROBLEM:
- 50% of students drop out of pre-med programs before completion
- Only 17% of students who enter college as pre-med make it to medical school
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
THE TRUTH: Students aren’t prepared for the intensity of pre-medical programs or medical school.
It’s no secret that many high school students aspire to be doctors, but the high dropout and failure rates are shocking. We’ve identified a few main factors that contribute to these numbers: students are not prepared for the difficulty of pre-med programs, students don’t know what being in the healthcare field actually entails, and students realize too late that medicine is not for them.
That’s where Future Doctors comes in — to give students an in-depth insight into the medical field and make sure you’re not part of the statistic.
