I wish I were a doctor ...

that is how it works with us - its actually inappropriate and frowned upon to call you by your first name.

You are a PharmD? I'm an Epidemiologist.

Yeah Psychologists are different/ Unless they're full of themselves, they typically go by their first name and not "doctor"

PhD Epidemilogist, my students are MDs believe it or not.

I was in the class of 2001, and I actually did a bunch of pharmacokinetics for an antisense compound at one time

Thanks Smurf, I still take out the garbage

The key word is specialized. You can make bank is almost any specialty cept pediatrics and geriatrics.

It's about 150 down here......And that's why there's a mass exodus from primary care. I plan to do locum tenens after residency and make a little over 3 times that to pay off my loans. Then settle back a bit for less pay and better QOL. But it isnt about the money. Never has been and never should be......

I've been tossing the idea of Radiology ever since becoming a rad tech. Being a tech to me has become such an underachievement which I didn't think would happen. It was nowhere near challenging which is where my passion for being a Radiologist started to materialize. Speaking with the Rad's at work, they said it's the hardest specialty to get into outside of Dermatology because of the relative cakewalk it is (once you enter the workforce not during school of course) since if you're not doing interventional, you have a Mon-Fri 8-5 job unlike other areas.

Since I already have a wife and a daughter, such a task would be incredibly hard but there have been many that have done such a thing before. I know the odds would be heavily stacked against me but if I actually convinced myself to dedicate the time and effort needed, I could do it. It's convincing myself that's the bitch

But do you want to do rads? I mean......no offense, but it sounds boring to me.
