In order to become successful physicians, you will first need to be successful students.  That means you must have mastery of the sciences and mathematics.  The reason most students don’t do well is rarely a reflection of aptitude.  Instead, students frequently don’t have the help and support that they need in these subjects or simply get off to a poor start.

​
