Shelia, you are not crazy. The best Doc’s I work with are second career Doc’s. They are the ones with real people skills. both patients and staff trust them. I am 48 and beginning over again. I finally know what I want to be when I grow up.
I think that Baylor college of medicine at Houston, Texas might be one of medical schools that gives students the option to finish some sections early and get extra months vacation. You may search that school website for clarification.
