Hey guys, baby med student here

Hey guys, I’ve been silently following this sub for a little while now, so I thought I’d ask for advice about my career path.

I’m only a second year med student, but I’m passionate about psych, regardless of lifestyle or pay (what could be worse than my current situation, anyway?). I was just wondering if anyone here has words of advice about what experience I should be building earlier on, e.g looking for field specific experience, getting familiar with other fields etc.

Also would like to hear your opinions on working regionally vs metro, I’m a rural student so honestly could not care less where I work in 10 years time.

TL;DR: what advice would you give a year 2 med student who wants to be a psychiatrist?

(Literally any words of wisdom or warning are appreciated 💀🙏)
