Hi, I'm an M2 planning on taking a medical LOA for mental health issues and want to get a sense of how this is going to affect my application going forward. Academically I've been strong since starting school but I made the mistake of putting off treating mental health issues and they've gotten to the point where I can't function day to day and are affecting other more important aspects of my life. If I come back and continue to do well (and am likely to have a few posters/publications come in during my LOA) how will this be perceived by PDs? Undecided on specialty but leaning EM/IM.
