Recently I joined a Mental health center where I do case management, outreach work, participate in syringe exchange program, Help out the Homeless around my county. Very busy during the day. Along with me 2 others also work on the same job.
Friday I received my first interview invite For MSTP in Stony Brook. I intend to take both Md and MD/phd interview with them. It is during the middle of the week.
I will have to allocate atleast 3 days 1 day for travel( I live in colorado) and 2 more days of interviewing. Along with this I have applied for many other MSTP and MD programs. Expecting few more during the course of the year. That means few more absences from the work place. I am sure most people who have applied for MD/MDphd must be in the same situation. I see some people getting as many as 8 interview invites already. How are they dealing with it. I know it is lot easier when in school vs employment.
Not sure how my employer takes it if I say I need to go for an interview. I really like this job would not want to leave it. I am kind of worried that they could fire me if I tell them the actual reason.
Any thoughts.
