Guest ItsmeMelissa Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 I am sure that many of you have heard the stories of people who have their schooling paid for by a small town in return for a contract of service in their community. Sounds a little too "Northern Exposure" to me! Is there any validity to these claims? Could anyone tell me how to go about finding these communities? Cheers Melissa Edited to make the title more descriptive. --Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a fairly standard feature of a med school applicant. Is this usually dropped when the med student becomes an MD? -will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I'm interested in the opinions of people that frequent this forum. Medicine can be a hard life. After med school, the residencies are particularly brutal and many relationships have failed because of it. The hours are long and the pay is relatively weak (~$36,000/year for 1st year resident). Unlike a job with a company or the government, physicians do not receive a pension, let alone health benefits. Besides the job security, how do these "sacrifices" justify your decision to pursue medicine in the end? Med schools preach about maintaining a balance in your life, but in my opinion, the system hasn't drastically changed to reflect these attitudes. A 30-hour day doesn't do wonders for the home life. So why are so many people interested in medicine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
