Little Medical School

5 Great Articles For You If Your Kid Wants To Be A Doctor!

We believe that children are our future……in medicine!  We recently posted a quiz on our Trivia Tuesday on Facebook that was geared towards kids and that got us thinking.  The next generation of doctors will change the world as modern medicine continues to advance and for some the idea of becoming a doctor starts as a dream at a young age.  Some folks just know they want to be one.  We need great doctors so we found 5 fantastic articles for you with tips on what to teach your children, how to encourage them along with some pros and cons of the profession for you to ponder!  We actually are planning a piece soon with our own Dr. Goldberg to discuss his experience and journey to becoming a doctor himself!

5 Great Articles For You If Your Kid Wants To Be A Doctor!

  1. Our first selection is Would You Encourage Your Child To Be A Doctor? from White Coat Investor.  This is a great Q & A that pulls no punches.  It’s 6 years old but it’s still really good…
  2. Next we have a fun article about “Little Medical School” from NPR.  This is such a neat idea where kids go to a “kids medical school” where they get a fun foundation in health care complete with white coats at the end!  They learn about the brain with Play-Doh for example!
  3. Here’s a quick one from CBC Kids – it’s the quiz we posted on Facebook for you to give to your child!  Have fun with it and see if they can score 10/10!
  4. This one from the FDA is so cool – it’s a year by year guide to teaching your children how to use medicine safely from ages 3 up to 12!  Lots of good info here.
  5. Last but not least this one from U.S. News and World Report puts an emphasis on how to prepare your child who is planning on med school with some solid tips!
