I'm a medical student at a top 20 allopathic school in the U.S. This article resonated with me.

I think the part that struck me the most was his comments about time. I have diverse academic interests. I studied math and bio in undergrad. I love machine learning and software development (esp python). I lived in China to study the language for a year. All that gets sucked out of medical school though. We are expected to learn a ton of material in the first two years. Then in the second two years, we are basically working a full time job in the hospital/clinics while also studying. We are constantly evaluated. We are also expected to do research and publish papers. I've forgotten what a guilt-free day off feels like.
