I started medical school with a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I then had a 3rd child in medical school. That all took a lot more time than dating. In general, you want to think twice about dating someone in your class. If you are just compelled by undeniable attraction to a med school classmate, nothing I say will change your mind. The med school interview process is not in any way related to a job interview. You're applying to get into a profession, not be a teller at Chase Manhattan Bank. Med schools know you're interested because you applied and showed up for the interview. If you don't want to attend, there are plenty more candidates in the queue. Based on the content in the letter (location where I worked with this individual, job title, etc), it can clearly be established that the letter was written during the past year if one just looks at my activities on my application, but I just want to make sure I don't need this resent with a date.

I can't seem to find any laws that actually say it's illegal to have relations with your patients on a non healthcare-level. Obviously it would NOT be during the actual visit (ER, GP visit, etc) but I'm talking about actually exchanging contact details (in other words having some sort of romance).
I suppose the general answer will be no, but is it actually illegal or just really frowned upon (unethical)
Also just to add, I seen a movie recently that touched on this subject (relationships with a patient), so it sort of sparked up my imagination, it was a good movie too, I'm sure most of you have seen it.

List Of Med School

First, thanks for reading this! I know it is long.
I am pretty set on FM. I love it to death. I also really love women‘s health. While I would love the added bonus of delivering babies, until I get closer to finishing medical school, I’m not sure if I want to dedicate so much of my time to OB And I don‘t want their lifestyle. I’d prefer mostly 8-5 with occasional emergencies.
I’ve always loved the physiology of female reproductive system and have 4 sisters so I generally enjoy working with women, particularly as patients, more than men but certainly don’t mind treating men. I am highly interested in general screenings and pelvic exams, birth control including IUD placements/removals, fertility problems, etc. I essentially want to do as much as I can including procedures and Refer to OB/GYN when sx is indicated such as hysterectomies.
I want the best training possible but am not impressed with the “women’s health“ fellowships available for FM docs. I similarly don’t want to live anywhere they are currently available.
1. where is the best residency for these types of opportunities? Or how can I identify them?
2. Is there anyone who thinks I would in fact need a women’s health fellowship?
3. If I end up not getting all the experience I was hoping for in my training at the end of my FM residency, is it possible to learn how to do more procedures after without a fellowship?
4. Are GYN procedures lucrative if done in high-ish volume? (not worried about making 7 figures.. just thought I’d ask as my debt will be pretty health coming out of school..)
While I‘m sure an OB fellowship would overlap with these interests, I don’t want to do that so much because again, the lifestyle in OB isn’t what I’m looking for. However, I’m still open to the possibility. With that, I have another question;
5. How lucrative/realistic is it to limit my pregnant patients at any given time in order to prevent schedule issues while still delivering some? For example, could I only accept a set number of newly pregnant patients at a time so that I only average say, 4 deliveries a month?
6. Could I exclude nulliparous or women in high-risk categories? (the former of the two seems a bit exaggerated or that it may display low confidence).
Again, I’d also be happy without the OB. I just think it would be a special bonus if I got to do it. More interested in the GYN aspect. Thoughts?
