Shara Yurkiewicz is a fourth-year student at Harvard
    Medical School. She was an AAAS Mass Media Fellow, and
    her work has been published in the Los Angeles Times,
    Discover, and The Best Science Writing Online 2012. She
    is interested in medical ethics and has served as guest
    editor for the American Medical Association's ethics
    journal Virtual Mentor. She conducted ethics research
    at Harvard, Yale, and the Hastings Center and received
    a B.S. in biology from Yale.

4th year at Harvard Medical School, guest editor for AMA's ethics journal, undergrad at Yale, I think she's qualified to write a reflective / opinion-based blog.

> Med students don't know shit. And don't do shit

That seems like a fairly blanket statement? Care to explain?

I wish I could come up with an appropriate analogy. But basically, as a med student rotating at a hospital, you are simply there. It's beneath an internship, because that's essentially what you do the _next_ year when the real work begins, the long hours, etc. So any insights are going to be about being a med student or bedside manner. Boring. And probably a little pretentious.
