AdamP Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I think you've pretty much got all you can expect from these forums in terms of input. If you feel this confused about choosing a career I think there are two things that can be done 1) Get some professional career advice 2) Just try things out dude, I'm reading a book called intern right now, the author was from a traditional indian family and decided to goto med school after a phD in physics, anyways I thought a good quote was, unlike India, in america your life is not set in stone once you turn 21.....(u can do something else if you don't like econ, finance, even meds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharmacytiger Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 You're honestly thinking of pursuing a career in a health profession when you don't particularly enjoy the biological sciences?! You may want to re-assess this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microbiodude Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 The movement is that 80 hours is becoming a bit much. I dont know about the 120 hours. Thats 24 hours a day.. It's currently 24 hours on and then 24 hours off, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Depends on service/contract, but my calls have been closer to 30 hours on, 18 hours until you return the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8kg6 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I know in the states a lot of programs used to be about 100-120 hrs/wk, but then the governing body (AAMC?) limited that to 80. Johns Hopkins broke it at first, but the AAMC threatened to take away their accreditation, lol. Imagine JHU as an unaccreditation, no better than stewart university.

Secondly, residency programs get away with going over 80hours/week by forcing the residents to only report 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
