So did you start med school? How old are you? It takes a long time to get to practice, so I'm wondering what is the full story here.

  In my 30s, quit my last startup about 2.5 years ago. Have been an EM scribe the last two years which has been amazing clinical experience. Did my premed coursework a decade ago when I did neuroscience. Just needed biochem, and about 800 hours of self-study for the MCAT. Interview two weeks ago, fairly optimistic about this cycle but if not, I think next cycle will go well. Everyone focuses on the amount of schooling and training that this requires. I am happy when I am helping people and constantly learning new things, and I'm already doing both. There are a lot of other options than just med school, tbh you can make as much money with way less schooling as an anesthesiology assistant.

    This is awesome, I got interested in biochem via AI. And the idea of being AI-assisted doctor sounds much healthier than being an AI-assisted coder.

    I would be curious to hear your opinion on this when you are closer to the end of your residency program. The way medical education programs are structured is inhumane, no amount of money would convince me to go through it in its current form (assuming a north american perspective).
