I’m putting it out there: I don’t believe it takes 5 years to get a medical degree. And I do believe that you can learn on the job if you already have a clinical role.

How much of your med school career was actually clinical? Let’s get real folks. Change is rarely comfortable but it is both possible and now necessary.
