That really surprised me bc I guess it's very hard to start a relationship during med school due to timing, loading of the courses, exams, board exams, research, etc...

Nobody is going to have this information; it'll all be just anecdotal stories. Some do get married, some don't. It just depends.

Scoff! Scoff! Of this info is available . Here is the real data

a little over 8% are married going in; a little over 25% are married going out

From Matriculating Student Questionnaire

Graduating Questionnaire 2016
https://www.aamc.org/download/464412/data/2016gqallschoolssummaryreport.pdf

Medical School Graduates Self-Report Their Marital Status, Gender, Sexual Orientation
Responding to new questions added to the 2016 GQ, one in four US medical school graduates reported being
legally married (25.7%). Fewer than one in ten (9.2%) reported having dependents other than a spouse, with the
median number of dependents being one. A small number, 0.3 percent (43 individuals of 13,862 respondents),
self-identified as having a gender identity that was not the same as the sex assigned at their birth. Separately,
medical school graduates who identified as “gay or lesbian” were 3.1 percent of respondents, and those who
identified as “bisexual” were 2.1 percent; the remaining 94.8 percent identified as “heterosexual or straight.”

I stand corrected. Man, the AAMC really does have information on everything.
 
Is there info on if those 25% married a smoking hot nurse, or a fellow med student, or someone not in the medical field at all?
I wonder... Hmmm
 
Is it just me or is 4 years not long enough to know someone in order to get married?

Maybe I just have commitment issues

I'm waiting for the liberals to lobby for car marriage since apparently you can engage in matrimony with virtually anyone or anything nowadays

I don't think they need to lobby for that, some people already act like they're married to their car.

Nah it's just you. Married my wife a year after meeting her.

Edit: I should also add it was the best decision I ever made.

Nothing wrong with enforcing the fact that what was it 91% of nurses are female and a lot of them are really attractive.
True story I don't think I ever met an unattractive nurse.. I am not even exaggerating
Every nurse I met was young and good looking lol
 
sounds like someone is going to med school to get married.. Good Luck bro

Not just you. I had a five year relationship that ended not too long ago, and even after our fifth anniversary, I wasn't sure if I wanted to marry her. It blows my mind that some people will get married after dating for one or two years (or in the case of my parents, less than a year).
