For those high school students already considering a career in medicine, I recommend a recent, two-part Your College Bound Kid (YCBK) podcast series. YCBK is run by Mark Stucker, a genial college counselor who covers a panoply of topics on the college admissions process.
He and his colleague Susan Tree recently spoke about what pre-med students should be looking for and avoiding when considering colleges. They get down to the nitty-gritty, including inflated medical school acceptance statistics, specific institutions that offer mentored research programs, and the corporatization of modern medicine. The episodes are number 537 and 539.
