Medicine isn't just a job, it is a profession and it is a calling. And if you feel called to do this work, then don't let the money stand in your way. If you really feel called to join this profession. I love my job. I'm so grateful to do the work that I do and get up and go to work every day. But it is very expensive. And I think it's an equity issue that hopefully those of us in academic medicine can continue to work on. On making that debt mountain, that activation energy of going to medical school lower. Have a plan and stick to it. I feel like that's a white coat investor message all the way around, like, have a plan and stick to it.
