[quote=Anonymous]There were always a few non-traditional students in dh's med school, then residency, then fellowship. Be ready to move for school and residency and fellowship if necessary. You will be essentially 'checked out' for the next 8+ years. During times when dh had to study for exams (Step 2,3, 1st boards) I left with my kids to my sister's house to give dh uninterrupted study time. Your life will revolve around medicine during residency. You will be on call a lot. With your dh already being a doctor, it should be easier for him to adjust to the change because he's been through it so that's a great plus. Only do this if you have a strong passion and desire to be a doctor. The baggage I see Dh go through with regards to work would make the daily job horrible for someone who doesn't love practicing medicine. He loves helping others, he loves seeing patients get better and has always wanted to be a doctor, this gets him through the really tough days. GL![/quote]
