[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why all the rushing and pushing? Looking back, as an MD for the past almost 20 years, I am really glad I took time between college and med school to explore other interests, do other things. There is so much burnout in medicine that I am concerned about these young ones putting so much pressure on themselves in high school to get into X college to get into Y med school to get Z residency. Med school and residency were by far the most diverse educational experiences I had with students and residents from a really wide array of education, paths, geographic and ethnic backgrounds. Those who had taken a little time in between had more maturity and perspective and resilience to handle the intensity of med school and residency.[/quote]
Tons of reasons. Not everyone has the luxury financially of taking time off. Some women may want to finish up residency while they’re still in child bearing age. Heck, my husband was 33 when he finished and became staff with a family to support and he didn’t take any time off. [/quote]
