The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Reveals if Conrad Becomes a Doctor

by

In the upcoming season 3 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” or in the original book trilogy, there’s curiosity about whether Conrad pursues a career as a doctor. With season 3 delving into challenges in his academic journey and deepening his emotional development, viewers are left wondering if he will continue on the medical path or if the show will deviate from the source material’s storyline.

As an ardent admirer, I’ve delved into the intricate narrative of Conrad’s transformation into a physician, as portrayed in the show and the novels. Each version offers unique insights into this remarkable journey.

In the books, I found myself engrossed in the details of his trials and tribulations, witnessing firsthand how each experience shaped him into the accomplished doctor he became. The show, on the other hand, brought these moments to life, making Conrad’s transformation more vivid and relatable. Both versions underscore the sacrifices, resilience, and determination required to navigate the complex path towards becoming a doctor.

Does Conrad become a doctor in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 or books?

In Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, Conrad has not become a doctor.

The series indicates that he’s continuing his medical education at Stanford. Interestingly, a fresh story arc discloses that Conrad was expelled from a medical program he had been admitted to, which is different from what was portrayed in the novels.

This addition seems to mark a significant shift in his travel experience. It aligns with his choice to seek counseling for personal development, which is also a departure from the traditional storyline in the books. However, it doesn’t imply that he has completely given up on his academic aspirations as suggested by some viewers.

In Jenny Han’s original trilogy, we don’t find Conrad as a fully-fledged doctor by the end of “We’ll Always Have Summer”. However, throughout the storyline, he expresses his desire to become a doctor and takes steps towards that dream. Belly makes it clear that during college, Conrad starts working at a medical laboratory.

At the end of the book, there’s an epilogue depicting Conrad and Belly as a married couple, but it doesn’t reveal his ultimate professional status. The story suggests that he persists on his pre-medical path at Stanford, keeping him on course for his lifelong ambition to become a doctor. His mother’s tragic passing due to cancer significantly shaped his choice to pursue a career in medicine.

The first two episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 are available to stream now.
