[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PA![/quote] It takes just two more years to become an actual doctor than it does to become a PA. Just saying. [/quote] Surgeon here. Depends on which residency the MD chooses, training can be much longer. I thought I was interested in primary care but then took a different path. It was a long road and very hard on my spouse and kids. I had local family and was in a good financial spot to hire a nanny- it would have been hard to imagine doing so without both. Life is better now, but still have to take call for one or more hospitals and come home generally happy but exhausted each day. I do not regret my career choice, but unlike the OP did not already have a different job I loved when I decided to pursue medicine. (I knew I needed a career change no matter what.). Good luck, OP, my advice is to truly make this a family decision and think about what support you have to make it work if you choose to go forward. [/quote]
