1. You'll have diverse Medical career opportunities
Often overlooked, this reason is actually one of the most convincing ones. After graduation, you have a broad range of opportunities for a future job in the field of Medicine. There are over 60 specialities you can choose from, so you're spoilt for choice.
2. Find Medicine jobs anywhere in the world
All over the world, there is a great uniformity of Medical knowledge and practice. This means that by graduating from a medical school or college in Europe, you can find a job and work in any hospital in South America or anywhere else in the world. This does not apply to many other disciplines!
3. Alleviate people's pain and suffering
If you've ever been hospitalised or visited people who were, you know that those are some of the most difficult moments in someone's life. It's very easy for patients to feel desperate and suffer even if the illness can be cured, or they only have to go through a minor medical intervention.
This is where a great medic or nurse can use their empathy and people skills to make a difference. It's very important to be honest with patients, but it's just as important to encourage and give them hope.
4. Doctors are in high demand
The world needs more doctors. According to the Telegraph, "In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) projected that by 2030, low- and middle-income countries will have a deficit of 14.5 million healthcare professionals."
