JohnnyComeLately Tell you what I’d do man
Being 100% honest here, anytime I have a friend or patient who is interested in the profession I try to steer them away
The way that medicine is trending and insurance payments it’s getting incredibly difficult to make a decent career in the field and it’s not worth the 200 plus thousand dollars in student loan debts.

Most new grads get offers for like 60 a year. And they are required to work like 60 hour weeks. Banks don’t lend to new grads so it’s almost impossible to start on your own without family investment.

I got lucky and was able to have a successful practice in Canada. I now have 2 businesses I am a part owner in and have profit sharing in the company I was brought on for. But i have several friends I graduated with who are already out of the profession.

If someone asks me I would say become a PA for less debt and more long term income potential.
