Hey guys I apologize if this has already been answered I'm new to the forums but if someone can shed some light on this topic it'd be great.
First off I'm wondering if I would be able to classify myself as a disadvantaged student? I was born with epilepsy and lived with it up until I was 5 when I grew out of it (thankfully, but i had another episode when i was 12) but I took some medication (depicot) that apparently it hindered my learning ability quite a bit. I struggled with grades all of my life until I got to college where I work very hard to make my grades count. My family was poor when we moved here for my treatment (I'm middle eastern). I've always dreamed of becoming a doctor and I'm tenacious enough to make it a reality hence why I'm working so hard now. So that's question one.
Question two is from my observation (i could be wrong) on the disadvantage program at the school is it says that disadvantaged doctors work in underprivileged areas (my assumption the ghetto/low income cities) now does that mean that they aren't treated the same? Are they looked down upon? Do they share the same income as a regular doc etc...? Also are they able to transfer or work at a regular hospital? Thanks a bunch guys and again I apologize if this has web answered. Appreciate the help!
