Is it possible to work while in med school, just curious. 🙄

As a MSI who attempted to do just that, I would say that it is possible depending on what your responsibilities outside of the classroom are and what kind of grades you are comfortable receiving.

Just takes some hard work and great time management.

It is possible to work in medical school, but it's not easy. I have a 3rd shift weekend job that allows me to study. There are times when it gets really overwhelming. Basically, make sure that your job is VERY flexible and that you have opportunities to study while at work. Medical school is tough. If you can get by without working, it's probably a good idea.😉

I've talked to some students who worked. Most of them had jobs at the hospital where they sat around waiting to be called in. And while waiting they would study.
