But deciding which medical school to  attend isn't as straightforward as  

但是，決定去哪所醫學院並不像以下幾個方面那樣簡單。

some might suggest. These are the considerations  to determine which med school is best for you.

有些人可能會建議。這些都是確定哪所醫學院最適合你的考慮因素。

朱波醫生，醫派內參網。

Before you can determine which  medical school you want to attend,  

在你確定你想上哪所醫學院之前。

you need to determine which  medical schools to apply to.

你需要確定申請哪些醫學院。

The average student applies to 15-20 schools,  but I generally advise students to apply to  

一般學生會申請15-20所學校，但我一般建議學生申請到

too many schools rather than too few. Think of  it from a risk assessment perspective. If you  

學校太多，而不是太少。從風險評估的角度考慮。如果你

don't apply to enough schools, there's a higher  risk you don't get any acceptances, requiring  

沒有申請到足夠多的學校，就會有較大的風險，你得不到任何錄取，這需要

you to reapply in a future cycle or reconsider  another career path. That's a huge downside.

你要在未來的週期中重新申請，或者重新考慮其他職業道路。這是一個巨大的弊端。

If you apply to too many schools, on the other  hand, the main downsides are cost and the time it  

如果你申請的學校太多，另一方面，主要的缺點是費用和時間。

編寫額外的二等兵所需的費用。費用可以通過費用補助計劃來減輕，以及。

writing secondaries gets easier the more you do,  as you're able to recycle similar essays between  

寫二次元越寫越容易，因為你能夠循環使用類似的文章之間的。

programs with only slight modifications. There's  an asymmetric upside to applying to more schools.

項目只需稍加修改。申請更多的學校有一個不對稱的好處。

I personally applied to 40 schools, which in  hindsight was more than I needed to. But I  

我個人申請了40所學校，事後看來，這比我需要的要多。但我

received over 20 interview invitations, attended  more than 10, and had several acceptances.  

收到20多份面試邀請，參加了10多份，並有多份錄取通知書。

It was far better to be in a position  to decline an interview invitation  

拒絕面試邀請的情況下，要好得多。

rather than wishing for more. And with multiple  acceptances, you're in a stronger position to  

而不是希望得到更多。而有了多次的錄取，你就有了更強的實力，可以做到

secure stronger financial aid packages  and decrease your student loan burden.

確保更強大的財政援助計劃，並減少您的學生貸款負擔。

When determining which schools to apply to,  your stats should obviously guide you to a  

在確定申請哪所學校時，你的數據統計顯然應該引導你去申請一所

certain degree. But you should also consider  how strong their in-state preferences are.  

一定程度。但你也應該考慮他們的州內優惠力度有多大。

Some public schools take a tiny  percentage of out-of-state applicants,  

有些公立學校只接受極少比例的外州申請人。

and if you're out-of-state, that may change  whether you think it's worth it to apply there.

而如果你是外州人，那可能會改變你認為是否值得去那裡申請。

After applying broadly, hopefully you have  one or more acceptances to choose from.  

廣泛申請後，希望你有一個或多個錄取名額可供選擇。

This is an excellent position to be in.  Here are the most important considerations:

這是一個極好的位置。 以下是最重要的考慮因素。

First, prioritize the location. You'll be  in medical school for at least 4 years,  

首先，優先考慮地點。你至少要在醫學院呆4年。

and your location can play a huge  part in your overall experience.

和你的位置可以在你的整體體驗中發揮巨大的作用。

Location can mean being close to friends  and family, who will be your sources of  

地點可以是指靠近朋友和家人，他們將是你的來源。

support in medical school in addition  to your newfound friends and colleagues.

除了你新認識的朋友和同事外，在醫學院的支持。

Location can mean being in an environment  you're familiar and comfortable with.  

位置可以意味著在一個你熟悉和舒適的環境中。

Or it can mean exploring a new city  or region that fancies your interest.

或者，它可以意味著探索一個新的城市或地區，幻想你的興趣。

I chose UC San Diego for medical school in  part because of the location. I love it there,  

我選擇加州大學聖地亞哥分校讀醫學院，部分原因是這裡的地理位置。我喜歡那裡。

and I figured it's great to be in a low stress  environment like San Diego, with beautiful  

我想，在聖地亞哥這樣一個低壓力的環境中是很好的，有美麗的...

beaches, amazing weather, and reasonable traffic,  while in a higher stress period of my training.

海灘、神奇的天氣、合理的交通，而我的訓練卻處於壓力較大的時期。

The location of your medical school  also plays a large role in your fit.

醫學院的地理位置對你的適合度也有很大的作用。

Fit is somewhat of a nebulous term, referring  to how you relate to the medical school culture.  

Fit是個有點虛無縹緲的詞，指的是你與醫學院文化的關係。

Some suggest you look at the school's mission  statement to get an idea of their interests,  

有的人建議你看看學校的使命宣言，瞭解一下他們的興趣。

values, and goals. In my experience, mission  statements are too broad and generic. Rather,  

價值觀和目標。根據我的經驗，使命宣言過於寬泛和通用。相反：

consider your experiences interacting  with the school and its people.

考慮到你與學校及其人員互動的經驗。

You'll get a feel for it on interview day,  and certainly if you attend a second look  

面試當天你就會有感覺，當然如果你參加二審的話，也會有感覺

weekend. Even if you're doing a virtual  interview rather than attending in person,  

週末。即使你做的是虛擬面試，而不是親自參加。

you can still get an idea of the  school's persona and priorities.

你仍然可以瞭解學校的人設和重點。

Do you vibe with the other students there?  Do they feel like your people? What about  

你和那裡的其他學生有共鳴嗎？ 他們覺得自己是你的人嗎？怎樣？

the faculty and staff you come across? Do they  care about similar things that you care about?  

你遇到的教職員工？他們關心的事情和你關心的事情相似嗎？

Maybe that's underserved medicine or primary  care. How does the environment feel and the  

也許就是服務不足的醫療或基層醫療。環境的感覺和

immediate surroundings - this, after all, is  where you'll be spending a great deal of time.

緊鄰的環境--畢竟，這是您將花費大量時間的地方。

This is the time to consider what  type of doctor you want to be,  

現在是考慮你想成為什麼樣的醫生的時候了。

and whether this environment will  help you work towards that goal.

以及這個環境是否能幫助你朝著這個目標努力。

While cost is important, I don't think this  should be your primary consideration. The White  

雖然成本很重要，但我認為這不應該是你的首要考慮因素。白

Coat Investor certainly feels different, arguing  that medical schools provide comparable education,  

大衣投資人當然有不同的感受，認為醫學院提供的教育相當。

and choosing the cheapest school  is almost always the best decision.  

而選擇最便宜的學校幾乎都是最好的決定。

If all medical schools were created equal,  this would be a strong argument. After all,  

如果所有的醫學院都是平等的，這將是一個強有力的論據。畢竟，

the compounding effect that works for you with  investments also works against you with debt.

對你投資有利的複利效應也對你的債務不利。

Cost includes more than just your tuition as  well. Attending medical school in San Francisco  

費用也不僅僅包括你的學費。在舊金山上醫學院

or New York City will have higher associated  costs of living compared to Omaha or Ann Arbor.

或紐約市的相關生活成本會比奧馬哈或安阿伯高。

We know that location and fit are obviously  highly variable based on the institution,  

我們知道，根據機構的不同，位置和適合度顯然有很大的差異。

but aren't medical schools  otherwise more or less the same?  

但醫學院不都是差不多的嗎？

Not quite, bringing us to our final point,  prestige and your intended specialty.

不盡然，讓我們進入最後一點，聲望和你的預期專業。

The reality is that prestige can certainly  play a role in your future residency  

現實情況是，聲望對你未來的居住地肯定能起到一定的作用。

matching opportunities. Particularly if you're  trying to train in a competitive specialty,  

匹配的機會。特別是如果你想在競爭激烈的專業中進行培訓。

the reality is that your pedigree can  certainly be an asset in helping you have a  

現實中，你的血統當然可以成為一種資產，幫助你有一個。

leg up. This prestige effect continues  on through fellowship applications,  

腿了。這種聲望效應會通過獎學金的申請繼續下去。

getting additional degrees like an MPH or MBA,  and even with your future doctor job applications.  

獲得額外的學位，如MPH或MBA，甚至與你未來的醫生工作申請。

There will certainly be some butthurt comments  below, as this can damage sensitive egos,  

下面肯定會有一些吐槽，因為這會傷害敏感的自尊心。

but that's just the reality of it, and I don't  water things down. This is Med School Insiders.

但這只是現實，我不會淡化事情。這是醫學院的內幕。

More prestigious programs are also more likely  to be affiliated with larger medical centers that  

更有聲望的項目也更有可能隸屬於大型的醫療中心，這些醫療中心的特點是

have a wide breadth of specialty exposure. If  you're set on matching into ENT or neurosurgery  

有廣泛的專業接觸。如果你想匹配進入耳鼻喉科或神經外科

but don't have those departments at your medical  school, you're at a substantial disadvantage.  

但在你的醫學院裡沒有這些部門，你就會處於實質性的劣勢。

First, you won't get proper exposure until  your fourth year of medical school when you  

首先，你要到醫學院第四年才會有適當的接觸機會，那時你

do away rotations. It will also be more  difficult to find a long term mentor who  

做走輪崗。要找到一個長期的導師也會比較困難，他

can guide you or go to bat for you  during your residency application.

可以在您的居留權申請過程中為您提供指導或為您出謀劃策。

You can look up the various departments at  a medical school or affiliated hospital,  

你可以查詢醫學院或附屬醫院的各個科室。

or you can ask during your interview  day. Ideally, you want medical school  

或者你可以在面試當天詢問。理想情況下，您希望醫學院

你感興趣的專業的教師，因為這些人参與研究、教學。

and mentoring of medical students. Community  physicians that have a looser association with  

並對醫學生進行指導。與社區醫生有較鬆散聯繫的社區醫生，與

the hospital can sometimes become great  mentors if they take a liking to you,  

如果醫院對你有好感，有時會成為很好的導師。

but that's the exception, not the rule, as there  isn't the same obligation to your education.

但這是例外，不是規則，因為對你的教育沒有同樣的義務。

The stability of the department  is also highly relevant here.  

在這裡，部門的穩定性也有很大關係。

If the neurosurgery program at a medical school  was put on probation or has been subject to  

如果一所醫學院的神經外科課程被留校察看或已受到

controversy or scandals resulting in high turnover  of leadership, you'll want to tread carefully.

爭議或醜聞導致領導層的高更替率，你要謹慎行事。

When deciding on a medical school to attend,  I want you to be able to have your pick.  

在決定就讀醫學院的時候，我希望你能夠有自己的挑選。

Why can't you attend the medical school that's  in a city you love, that fits you like a glove,  

你為什麼不能去你喜歡的城市的醫學院上學呢，那是在你喜歡的城市，像手套一樣適合你。

that's highly ranked and that doesn't put you  in hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt?  

這是高排名，這不把你在幾十萬元的債務？

I feel so fortunate that I was able to find that  for myself with UC San Diego. And a big part of  

我覺得自己很幸運，能夠在加州大學聖地亞哥分校找到適合自己的。而其中很大一部分原因是
