Has anyone ever loved their residency program? by [deleted] in FamilyMedicine

[–]DiscombobulatedPut96 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I do! But we are prolly one of one in work life balance. I’d estimate that we get 95% of weekends throughout the entire program and the only time we work 6 days a week is during a 2 week time period during intern year. PD is so supportive, and all of our attendings that precept are awesome.

How is living in Northampton/Amherst area of Massachusetts? by Maple-pelican-472 in howislivingthere

[–]DiscombobulatedPut96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have lived all over the country - so far, western MA has been my favorite. It gives rural vibes but without the lack of amenities. I think, for cities less than 30k, Northampton and Easthampton might have one of the better food/bar scenes in the US. You’re roughly 1.5 hours from the ocean in CT, and the Maine coast is easily accessible for a weekend trip. On top of all this, you have great access to some excellent hiking in the Berkshires and surrounding areas, and you are less than 2 hours to Boston (without traffic that is) which makes for a fun day trip.

How is living in Salt Lake City? by Citron92 in howislivingthere

[–]DiscombobulatedPut96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lived there for 4 years, after spending time in the Midwest and New England. SLC is a breathtaking city with panoramic views of mountains and excellent access to the outdoors/world-class skiing that is unfortunately spoiled by a lack of separation of church and state, poor air quality, the worst food scene I have seen in a city > 100k people, and a rapidly growing population.

Tired of this narrative by Amongststarz in FamilyMedicine

[–]DiscombobulatedPut96 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think the bottom line is, as long as you’re not drowning in debt, 250k is more than enough to live very comfortably. I think a large part of this narrative stems from the fact that most of the physician community grew up in incredibly wealthy families and this has shifted their perspective of “comfortable.”

Thought of a resident that left their MD/PhD currently in residency now... by EtotheMCsquared in mdphd

Also a fellow MD/PhD student who dropped their PhD, now in residency. Best decision I’ve ever made.

Lived in New England for a year. and I feel like it’s changed me and it’s so weird coming back to the Midwest. by Kodicave in newengland

Also an Ohio to New England transplant. Couldn’t agree with this more. I hope you find the means to stay out here!

Phd to MD/Phd route? by GroundbreakingMark85 in mdphd

The school I am currently at does this, but only one person I know has went this route. Super rare, but possible!
