I'm trying to think ahead to residency. I have been dating my gf for 3 years. The idea of marraige has come up but we have also been talking about the possibility of me going far away for my residency. She would just simply go with me if I got married but the sticker is that she just (a year ago) started a new business---not only has she put a lot of her own $ into this thing, but has all sorts of business loans as well---take home message--this is not some ice-cream stand; it is a significant commitment that seems to have years of legs on it.
There are plenty of residency programs in her area that I would love to be a part of, but just don't know if it is do-able. My question is that if we were to get married, would residency programs take the wife's business into consideration? It seems like that applicant, if competitive, would be way far more likely to remain in that town and practice--from what I understand, that is what kind of Dr.s residency programs want to produce--someone who will stay around; hopefully join the affiliated practices.
