A pre-med club for everyone, I Want to Be a Doctor gives listeners an invitation into the often privileged and impenetrable world of becoming a physician. 

Join host Dr. Robin Dickinson MD as she answers questions from medical hopefuls or curious bystanders. About half of our listeners are families with kids who are interested in a medical career and most of our questions come from pre-med or medical students. Why? Because it's never to early to start asking questions and thinking about a medical career! So whether you are in medical school trying to choose a specialty or in elementary school dreaming of your career, there are episodes for you!

Now is the time to submit your questions! Email podcast@docrobinschool.com and please include your first name and grade/class level if you want to be acknowledged.

****Every episode is sponsored by Dr. Robin's School, the pre-med curriculum for kids! Visit docrobinschool.com to learn more****
