My child wants to be a doctor

<p>"As a family physician, guest lecturer at a local medical school, and creator of a pre-med curriculum for young learners, I’m often asked by parents how to support their child who wants to be a doctor.</p> <p>The most important point to remember is that you don’t need to have any science background or be a professional of any sort to support your child. We all want to help our children follow their dreams! Most parents know as little about supporting a budding physician as I do about how to help my son, who wants to dance professionally. That’s OK! I do the same thing as you: I look for answers online. And I’m here to give you some ideas. If you know anything about dancing classical ballet professionally, you’re welcome to help me in return!</p> <p>So here is the advice I give parents who want to do their best for their child who wants to be a doctor."</p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-dickinson-md/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robin Dickinson</a> is a family physician and creator, <a href= "https://www.docrobinschool.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener nofollow">Dr. Robin's School</a>.</p> <p>She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "<a href="https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/post-author/robin-dickinson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">My child wants to be a doctor</a>."
