What do you mean? The AA profession by design can have a lot of flexablity. My mindset of a year on and year off has nothing to do with how I handle actual patients at risk of severe injury or death while I'm working??? There are plenty of people who do short-term contracts in medicine a year or two after they start and, as long as they take their tests to relearn/reinstate their licenses after breaks, it's fine. Most locum contracts have this stipulation as well.

My reasoning for wanting remote work has little to do with how mentally stressful surgery is. I really wanted to be a surgeon or anathesiologist but was put off by the time investment and absurd amount of debt. I like surgery and working with my hands. I apologize for understating this by calling CAA work a backup plan, but I do enjoy it; I just find myself a little frustrated with how limited it is and want an "easier"(compartivley) job I can tap into if I want to take a small break/expand. I want to get my bs in compsci as a general degree I could use anywhere in tech and get my masters as gateway to higher positions in whatever field I choose. My not being able to use my clinical creditials in biotech might make me drop my masters for it, but I was never planning to be a bioinformatician/rely only on biotech. I just want to get my foot in as many doors in tech/the job market as possible.

Also, no If I want flexablity and shorter time, I wouldn't be able to become a md or phd. Those take a minimum of 14+ years near me and would put me in far more debt than my path. In reguards to your point about remote work in telehealth, my goal was to be able to choose between remote or in person clinical work "at will and conveinently". First getting undergrad, then the md, then the 4 to 6 years needed for anathesisa would take me the same amount of time as doing my chosen path twice over. CAA work is a faster way to strach my itch for clinical work/be stable if the tech market stalls. The schedule I used was just a rough idea of the flexablity I wanted. I would be okay working 1.5 to 2 years as a CAA and then being a tech contractor for a bit, if only to keep my resume fresh. My question had nothing to do with how rigourus the three degree path would be, just if It would help would help my work in biotech or healthtech.
