She dropped out of her pediatric residency to begin a new endeavor and apply to residency AGAIN, but this time to dermatology. People advised against it.

Sometimes, it feels like all you have time for is your medical training as if your life completely revolves around your coursework and call schedule. And often times, it does. Schedules are determined by the rotation your own, upcoming exams, and that 'lovely' call schedule that interferes with your sleep. (Wait, what even is sleep?) It can be hard to carve out time for anything outside of medicine, which leads to the question: Is it possible to be more than a doctor or is that all you have time for? Dr. Emily Jacobs is an Obstetrics & Gynecology resident who is BUSY! When she's not in the OR or seeing consults, she's taking care of her 18 month old son.

The USMLE Step 1 is unlike any other. Just when you overcame the MCAT, medical school brings a higher mountain to climb. Step 1 is one of the most challenging exams you'll take in your medical training and, like the MCAT, is a critical component of your residency application. Great, more stress... There are MANY strategies and study resources to help people pass and reach their target score but the whole process can be so overwhelming and daunting and soon it becomes "impossible" to succeed at. Well, Ryan conquered Step 1 and scored above a 260. Ryan is a graduating medical student who walks us through exactly how he pulled this off. What was his study schedule? Which resources did he use? When did he start studying for Step 1? All of thus and MUCH MORE! If Step 1 is in your near or distant future, this is a must listen. Thank you for listening to The DoctorGoals Podcast!
