I did a prelim-surgery intern year. The hours are worse than medicine, but there are way less "mandatory" activities (no lectures, no endless rounding, etc.). For the most part, you're on the floor waiting for pages. I used the time between pages to write code.
Now I'm a radiology resident and have much more time.

- aabajian 8y agoI did my master's degree in computer science at Stanford, but now I'm a radiology resident at the University of Washington in Seattle.

- gunnr15 8y agoAre you in the Bay Area? Would love to learn more about your experience.
- aesclepius 8y agoThat's pretty impressive. My time between pages was spent asleep or reading reddit/HN.
