Wanted to see if anyone could help me brainstorm through my situation and figure out pros and cons for a decision I'm trying to make. I currently live in Georgia after moving to accept a job as a MA at my uncle's practice. I just graduated from undergrad and initially thought that moving to the southeast would be great because I have a ton of family there and thought that I wanted to eventually practice medicine in Georgia. After living here and working for a few months, I've come to the conclusion that it is not where I want to practice one day. After living in Idaho for 4 years for undergrad, I've found that that's where I ultimately want to live and serve as a physician. It is also where my wife is from and I've been told by various people I work with that I need to set myself up so that my residency is close to her family because of the demands I will have as a resident.
I would move in a heartbeat but the problem is I haven't taken my MCAT yet and my uncle has agreed to allow me cut my hours back so that I can study and still work. I'm afraid if I left now, a new employer would not allow me to do that and I would be stuck working full time while studying for the MCAT. However, there is a pretty incredible job at a hospital that I could most likely get which would give me some unique experience and get me back to Idaho to apply to UW and University of Utah. (I'm still an Idaho resident)
So what I've come up with so far is to
1. continue with this job, knock out the MCAT and then move but risk the job not being open anymore
2. or move while this job is still open and then work for a while until I'm able to cut back on hours and take the MCAT.
Either way, I'm probably going to have to wait until June 2018 to apply because I'm not sure that I will be able to verify my residence as Idaho even though I haven't changed my residency and this move has only been temporary. Thanks for any help!!!
