Alright, here are the facts, I'm a current Army HPSPer (MS3) interested in ENT. I will be getting married next year to a current intern in a 4 year residency program (civilian). I want to start a family at some point, but also don't want to destroy her chances of establishing a practice after...

Hello everyone, I have seen a few forums on here somewhat with the same topic but most are 2+ years old. I am currently a second year student who is thinking about taking a year off between 2nd and 3rd year to start a family. I am interested in rural family medicine almost exclusively and would...

Hi. My name is Rickie. I have an issue, a little personal, and wanted some advice. Let me give you some background. I was born in Illinois. I wanted to study PT or PTA but settled for masaage therapy. I met my wife in Asia and fell in love. I tried to get her to the U.S. but she got denied...

I will be delivering next year, during my final year or residency. A lot of next year will be elective time/not rigorous rotations, so it will be easy to have maternity leave and not need to have to have my co-residents cover me, which is why we picked my last year to have our baby. However, I...

In your opinion, what specialties would be the best for a MD couple? Taking into mind, family income, time to spend with kids, etc.

I've started the post-bacc pre-med journey just two months ago and so far I've been loving it. However, I've been talking to my fiance about starting a family and know that the earliest I can matriculate into medical school is 28 (I'm 25 now and can't take O-Chem until next year.) I see a bunch...

Hello! I have a dilemma regarding nursing school and medical school. I am currently an undergraduate with about one year to go before I obtain a Bachelor's degree in Nutritional Biology, which satisfies all of the pre-requisite requirements for medical school. While I am preparing for med...

I'm currently a sophomore in College. I do this thing where I obsess over what the future holds (lol). I have always been interested in forensic pathology and planned on attending med school to become on. However, I ran across something called a Pathologist Assistant. What are the differences...

Hey all, Been reading for awhile, but haven't been able to post anything because I couldn't get my phone to authorize and my computer required online authorization from my phone. Go figure. I'm going to be a non-traditional student in a few years (hopefully). I was a biology major, spanish...

Alright, so I'm one of those students who has just kind of continued with life in the midst of medical school. I am, in my truest form, a bit of a jack of all trades (well, Jill, I guess). I have LOVED nearly all of my rotations, have gotten along with everyone (preceptors, patients, other...

So I know that similar threads have been posted but nothing has stuck out that I can relate to my own personal situation (duh). So here it goes: I am a FF/Paramedic, been in EMS for 4 years and the FD for 1 for a busy urban, semi-rural to rural county (Lake County, FL). We have pretty...

Hi guys I'm an up and comer med school applicant, but I have a question about residencies that pertains to my brother who is currently in his 3rd year of a DO program. Next summer, he will be matched with an EM residency pending all things go as planned. Unfortunately, I am also planning my own...

Hey guys! So bear with me, this may be a bit long... but I really would like some honest, thoughtful advice from several different viewpoints. I am 22, (often confusing it with being about 45), and began college at 17 after graduating high school early. I completed four years at a community...

Hi Guys, I'm starting my post-bac at Rutgers University in June (I'll be 31). Already gave my job notice (civil engineering job in NYC) and I'm very excited. I had a crazy journey discovering my passion for medicine. I'm a site supervisor, so my company paid for my CPR/AED certification. On a...

Hey everyone, I need some advice on a decision that I am struggling to make..... I am an senior and will be getting my B.S. in Biology this December. I had planned on going applying to PA school initially but now I'm considering medical school. The main reason that I was picking PA over medical...

Hello all, I am currently a premed student and I am very interested in plastic surgery. However, I want to be able to have a family and a decent lifestyle. I was wondering if I would be able to have weekends off and decent hours during the week and still be a plastic surgeon? I honestly do not...

I've narrowed it down to two schools, but could use some advice on what may or may not be better based on the experience of others. I loved both schools and they were my top choices after interviewing! That's why it is such a hard choice...I'll list what I see as pro's and con's to both schools...

I was just reading a thread about someone who just graduated and is making 125k and wants to buy a house. Some said he could afford 800k house. For anesthesiologists, I'm wondering how you guys live? Like how are the hours? If you wanted to, could you afford a 1.5m house? For females, how are...

It was a long-lost childhood dream, but I'm not so sure if it's a practical choice. I've been through an emotional rollercoaster. I quit college in order to get out of my parents' home because I was abused, even though they were paying for my college. I just couldn't stand it anymore. It's been...

So this may have been covered already in previous topics, but it seems to typically be a female student asking for advice, so this is a little bit different. I am currently married (we celebrated our first anniversary this past November) and am currently still finishing my degree before...

So, I've been browsing this forum for a bit. I've looked around trying to find things that specifically fit my thing here (including the group of lawyers trying to go in 2022), but there's so much from years ago- and recent stuff that I feel too different from- that I decided to just start a new...

Can I move around and change jobs every four years if I am a general surgeon? Let's just assume my husband is military and I would have to move for those reasons.

My fiance and I have been talking about our game plan for our future. I will be graduating with my bachelor's this coming May 2016 and have already applied to a PT school and had the interview. I am very confident with my interview and my application but I do like having a plan. We discussed...

I love horses and poultry. They are my whole life. If I became a vet, I would specialize in equine internal medicine for sure and maybe avian/poultry general. I would love to spend my working life with them, but I also want horses, a couple dogs and chickens. Oh yeah, and a family ;). I just...
