Thanks for the info! Bizarre question: Has anyone heard of someone who did PeaceCorps for 2-3 years after medical school before/in lieu of immediate residency? I guess obviously you wouldn't get to practice medicine though? For the 701st time I wish that PeaceCorps had a residency, too much darn red tape in terms of licensing I bet, sigh . . .
