Yeah I’m a physician I think ultimately more black people should go into it. There is a reason why Asian and Indians push there kids into it. Also you don’t work as many hours as you would think.

I work 13 shifts a month and make around 300k

Wow lol

Emergency Medicine?

Has to be emergency medicine. I wonder if it's 12 hour shifts.

I considered it but not sure if I can do the type of shift work EM requires. Im just not a nights and weekend person.
But I can see how it can be considered a lifestyle specialty plus its only 3 years of residency.

What's a "shift" exactly? Also how long does it take to get that 300k/year salary?

undergrad = 4 yrs + med school = 4 years = 8 years?

I am. Not a physician yet, but more than willing to assist you if you need help and whatnot.

May I PM you for some advice?

What don't you like about biotech? Honestly it does take seven years to become a physician however the rewards are immense. Make sure you're focused though.

The politics. There is room for growth but it’s a very cut throat field. I have my bs in bio and feel like I should take a chance . Selling myself short otherwise i like the idea of taking care of patients more so than sitting in a lab wondering where the medicine we are making is going
