HMMK Your job is to get through it, keep your eye on the ball which is to get that piece of paper so you can do something really useful with your life. The doctor patient relationship is unique among professions in that it allows - even depends on - dealing with the most intimate and important aspects of a complete stranger’s life and health. Don’t be sidetracked by such nonsense as 12 hours of DEI training - maybe some of that will help make you a better doc. Once you get into the real medical world, whic still is a meritocracy, you will need all the facts and experience you can consume in these 4 years.

And BTW, try to minimize debt. Maximum pleasure from your work requires maxdmum freedom of choice - including that of avoiding corporate medicine. Hospitals own you and your ethics by paying off your inflated medical school debts.
