I play in a band and get money doing gigs every month. Its not a whole lot, but it pays for dinner!
So even during intern year you are able to find time to play in a band and gig?
I'm a musician considering going into medicine and the possibility of having to take a decade-long hiatus from music is my main - nay, sole - deterrent. Are these fears unfounded? Were you gigging/jamming during med school?
Even during med school and residency, you can usually find time for 1 things that's important to you. Working out, music, whatever. You just have to realize that during clerkships and residency, you don't really have control over when your free time comes. Call schedules generally aren't very changeable.

You can do both. There are tons of physicians who are side musicians and who played during med school and in residency. During my interview trail, most directors were fascinated about my band and music and then during our conversations, I would find out a majority of them were some sort of musician too. It was amazing!
