Hi,
I'm still getting my undergrad degree and I'm really interested in becoming a psychiatrist. I'm 22, married and have a 1 year old. I was just wondering if I'm crazy to go to med school with a family (though I'll be taking 2 years off between graduating and going to med school so my son will be like 4 1/2 then). And which seems to be harder for families, med school or residency?
I'm really good at organizing my time and I'm currently getting my undergrad abroad in the UK (from MA) and we're away from family 8 months a year (but we both miss out family and friends quite a bit).
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
