I interviewed my friend’s dad who is a  plastic surgeon because I am interested in medical fields and wanted to know more deeply about the job as a doctor.

Interview Questions

1. Why are you passionate about your job?As if greeting how are you to others, health is the most precious value for everyone. If you lose health, no matter how much money and honor you have, it is no use at all. I feel greatly rewarded when patients who have lost their health due to illness or accident are treated with care and returned to the society in a healthy way through treatment. It is the thing only doctors can do.
2. What obstacles have you faced to get you where you are today?Long training for more than 10 years seemed to be the most difficult part of the process until becoming a doctor. I have always wanted to quit during the period of medical students and majors who were always taught and learned while being chased on time, but I think I was able to grow up solidly through process and come to a current position.
3. What advice would you pass on to someone interested in what you are doing?A job as a doctor requires a sense of responsibility and a sense of duty that comes from working in relation to the life a person, as well as in appearance. Sometimes it can help patients to recover health through treatment or surgery, but sometimes it does not work well and sometimes it can harm patient’s health with wrong treatment. Therefore, it is a job that is very rewarding even though it receives a lot of mental stress. If you are interested and your aptitude is right, I think it is a challenging field.
4. Would you be open to further contact from Riverside students and if so, how can someone contact you?Sure, my email address is Jbk721@naver.com.
5. What study or Education is required to become a doctor?

The School of Medicine studies all aspects of clinical medicine such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, basic medicine,    medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology. The number of courses seems to be over 50. In addition, if you choose a specialized department, you will concentrate on the specialized part of the department through the course of your major. I am a plastic surgeon through four years of plastic surgery major course.

6. Is their special reason why you choose to be a doctor?

To be honest, the first time I was interested in my job as a doctor was from watching a medical drama that was popular in high school. The characters in the drama were very impressive, and I felt a great charm for the job as a doctor. Since then I have been interested and searched about it. I decided on medical course because I also have related parts that I personally liked biology. As you know, the actual doctor’s life is very different from drama. It is hard to find such a handsome, personable and attractive male doctor or female doctor in the drama. It’s a joke. Thank you for the interview.

From the interview, I learned being a doctor needs great responsibility since it is a job dealing with life. I think doctor is a worthwhile job, seeing patients get healthy again by your help even though it can be difficult sometimes. It had been a great chance for me to feel more familiar with the job.

I used email to interview with my friend’s dad.
