“The Next Generation”: A Resource for Aspiring Physicians

Advised by Editors from the New England Journal of Medicine, the Next Generation
is a periodic, online publication designed to present interesting and relevant
information to premedical students, medical students and general interest
readers. Premedical students can easily find information on how to get into
medical school, but there is a shortage of accessible information answering the
question “Why should I become a physician?” The Next Generation seeks to meet
this need and encourage a new generation of doctors and health-conscious
citizens to develop broader perspectives on the field of medicine.
