I was looking to work essentially 3 days on 4 days off. Is this possible? Could I possibly do 3 10-12 hour shifts as a dentist working for a corp or private office as an associate? Is this something that needs to be negotiated? If you have personal experiences with this please let me know!

Hello everyone :D I wanted to ask the more experienced lot of students here (especially people with a non-trad background to medicine where you considered other professions like finance, IB, quant analysis, law, etc) - is an MD the right path to chasing the bag? And another related question, is...

Hey there guys! I hope y'all are all doing great in these weird times.

I've just started studying for my MCAT again a few days ago, and was curious how other people planned out their days and what were some things you all did to make 5+ hours of study per day not feel so long and feel like you still have a life! So far it hasn't felt bad at all, but i'm always...

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...

Hello. I'm an international student recently accepted to M.A. in Forensic Psychology at John Jay College. While I'm thrilled to begin studying there, I'm trying to understand what my life will consist of in the next few years, and would welcome a feedback from people who went through the...

I am attending OT school next year. Could anyone give me (and other prospective OT students) insights on how school life is like, compared to undergraduate? -Amount of free time? -Social life? -Education more rigorous? -Friendships? -Opportunity to work with OT professionals? Etc. Any advice...
