On a serious note, here in the US, to get into med school these days, you have to be pretty much the perfect blend of Albert Einstein and Albert Schweitzer (or Alberta), which doesn't leave lots of time for needlecraft and the like.
- edwardhusarcik 8y agoI'm at a US MD school and we have plenty of time to do needlecraft and the like. Most of us aren't Albet Einstein, at least I know I'm not. My favorite thing to do is volunteer for Habitat for Humanity (we do roofing, wood work, dry wall, etc), and I have plenty of classmates that are involved in the arts. Not trying to discredit how hard we've all worked to have the opportunity to be in a US MD school. Tens of thousands of people would give up everything to have our spots. In relation to the article, we have plenty of opportunities to do suture clinics as a second year and even practice with box trainers. Perhaps training is different outside the United States.
