Following up on the thread regarding disclosing mutiple sclerosis to your residency director....
The applications for temporary medical licenses ask if you have any chronic condition or illness (e.g. mental illness, alcohol/substance abuse, or chronic medical condition) that interferes with your execution of medical duties. The wording is vague. What about mental illnesses, like bipolar, which required hospitalizations and time off from preclinical education, but which has not been an issue for 3 or so years while performing the actual clinical work.....similar to what someone previously said about their friend who had bipolar but was treated.
How would you advise someone here?
