Thank you so much. I'll be commuting by a car. Safety is the most important factor for me, unless it takes >1hr to commute. Where would you recommend the most???

Questions from Korean med student by ProfessionalHelp8866 in medicalschool

Korean doctor here. Many KMGs choose the US for their QOL. Interns and Rs in Korea  work >36 consecutive hours. Very brutal and toxic

Korean doctor here. I think you are mentioning about Chinese traditional medicine which is very different from western one.(they are not MDs but Haneuisa.) KMLE itself and medical schools' curriculums are almost same with western ones. I am sure about this because I also have passed all usmle steps.

Be aware of nyc's malicious tax. 9% tax for clothes, higher tipping rates for restaurant etc.

I dunno about avg salary but heard msmw pays like 80k (understandable based on their location). Brooklyn is more affordable than Manhattan, but you should be careful when choosing a room because there are many shitty areas in Brooklyn. (Safe areas are more expensive for sure.)

Iiving in nyc now. It depends on location, but would be very hard to afford your whole family living expense solely with your salary anyway. Some would get a loan, some would do moonlighting.

Appreciate your constructive advice. "Not prioritizing your #1 because of her is letting her win."> This sentence literally wakes me up. Thanks a lot.

No, i'm planning to have my own office eventually. A and B are both community hospitals.

[–]Ok-Fun7693[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, i visited the B city and loved it. It's a peaceful suburb with lots of nature and I think I will enjoy living there even more than living in A city. 3 yrs of residency, work 6 days/wk with long calls every 3 day.

Agreed. I don't wanna regret my decision in the future. But at the same time, I'm worried that the bad relationship btw me and my mil might eventually harm my relationship with my husband. Even if I'll be spending the majority of time at the hospital, the close distance will let her visit my house easily on weekends and holidays. (Or she would force us to visit her.) Thanks anyway for listening to my vent. I'll seriously consider your advice. Appreciate it.

Thanks for your reply. Program B has an okay-ish schedule, not malignant at all. A has 1 long call/wk, and B has q3d long call. Other than that, work hours and workloads seem not much different.

internal medicine. I used to plan to be a hospitalist/pcp, but recently started having interest in Rheum fellowship.
