Hi all!
I've been lurking around here for a while and have decided to start posting. As a little background, I'm currently 28 and I grew up in NY. Went to Hunter for my undergrad. (Psych major/Bio minor) Screwed around in NY while in school and my GPA dropped from a 3.8 to 1.7 and then finished with a 2.7-2.8. I was considering Med school in my undergrad, but eventually thought against it. After school I became a personal trainer and managed a gym for a while. About a year and a half ago, I got a job as a Research Assistant at Dartmouth Medical School doing research on Traumatic Brain Injury in the Developing Brain.
Working in a hospital, under two Pediatric Neurosurgeons, has rekindled the flame of desire for Med school and I'm currently researching post-bacc programs to start off the process.
I would like to either move back to NYC or out to SF for my schooling, but am not sure on residency requirements. I'm currently a VT resident, but I have family still in NY (so I can put my name on their mailbox) and I have a friend moving to SF in Jan (hopefully I can use his mailbox).
My problem is that I don't know how long it takes to establish residency in these two states. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks everyone. I look forward to chatting it up with all of you!
