A great guide from iUniverse author Michael Rivera-Garcia

“Michael Rivera-Garcia’s “Premed World” offers accessible, timely and on-target advice for students

Michael Rivera-Garcia’s handy new guide “Premed World: Your Journey toward Medical School”, published by iUniverse, offers straight-to-the-point information to help students prepare and succeed in applying to medical school.

Rivera-Garcia’s main goal in writing was to help others avoid the pitfalls he fell victim to himself.

“I had no real guidance that was helpful to me at the time,” he says. “I want to help pre-med students avoid going through the maze of requirements and creating a plan.”

“Premed World” examines the many challenges that exist in making it to and through medical school. The undergraduate medical years are just the beginning of the long road to becoming a practicing physician. Every premed student must learn vast amounts of material very quickly, as well as spending time with – and learning to make decisions about – sick, injured and dying patients. They will be tested physically and emotionally to the limits of their strength. Rivera-Garcia has filled his text with interviews, firsthand experiences by individuals in the profession, pre-med adviser experience and motivational quotes and unique tips.
