5 years? You wish!
- Jensson 3y agoResidency is just a normal job in most countries. It isn't a hazing period like in USA.
- alkonaut 3y agoOK I'd be a "physician" within 5 years (if I didn't fail). A "doctor" would be after a couple of more years, but those years are done working, with a salary, and the rest of the staff still calls you 'doctor'. Just like there are no unpaid internships for attractive jobs in law or finance, there also aren't any unpaid or extremely underpaid healthcare jobs. On the other hand: a US resident dr makes what, $60k? That's comparable to European doctors. I wouldn't make $100k for quite a few years. The first "residency" period here would proabably be more like $50k or even less. But with zero debt that doesn't sound horrible.
