What It's Like to Become a Doctor: A Year-by-Year Journey from Medical Student to Practicing Physician
Paperback
Matthew Moeller, MD, steps up and provides an educated voice on the challenges confronting all doctors-in-training, ultimately seeking a way forward for more efficient and better patient care.
This book is for students who are thinking about a career in medicine, patients who are frustrated with America’s healthcare system, and lawmakers who need an insider’s perspective when making healthcare laws.
Read Dr. Moeller’s honest and multi-angled stories of Call Night, Match Day, the rigorous academic schedule of medical school, the tireless hours of internship, his years of fellowship training, and humanistic accounts of patient care as he transforms from student to practicing physician.
As a bonus, he provides an insiders’ analysis on how to “fix” the healthcare system so physicians can focus more time on taking care of patients and less time on meaningless work that has nothing to do with patient care.
