Hello all,
(I searched and was surprised to not be able to find anything on this so here goes)
I am a medical laboratory scientist (blood banker) of 6 years and will soon be applying to med school. The school’s policy is that nobody is permitted to work. My question is, what does this even mean?
I have never read or heard of anyone getting kicked out of med school for simply working a couple shifts a month if their grades are still excellent. Of course if I felt that I was struggling, I would have to pass on picking up shifts.
No doubt all schools treat this differently, but does anyone have any experience with the consequences of this type of policy? I couldn’t imagine they would skew their stats for the worse by kicking someone out for a couple shifts per month when they are performing excellently (if I am not performing excellently I won’t be working because my main goal is to be a knowledgeable physician).
I’m not asking the school because frankly I don’t want to give the impression that my focus is anywhere but succeeding in school (which is true).
TIA
