what happens if you quit residency
A physician must complete at least one year of training in a certified residency program and must pass all three sections of the USMLE to be eligible and apply for a medical license. Residency involves a minimum 37-year training commitment to gain clinical skills and eligibility for counseling. Demand for residency is high and there are hundreds of unsuitable applicants each year. i want to give up
But what if, after completing medical school, putting together and starting your training, you decide you hate the residency and want to leave before you finish? What if you decided to pursue a different path? You will most likely receive several different messages from different people. I have received this question over a hundred times and have heard over a hundred different stories of why residents want to drop out, including:
Bullying
Exhausted
Worry
Change
The feeling of remembering your true calling
Concern for the future of medicine
There's Another Great Chance
The answer to whether you should leave your residence or not depends on how you see your future.
Ask yourself the following questions. Would you like to see yourself practicing medicine the same way senior doctors in your specialty practice medicine? Would you like to see yourself as a leader in your area of expertise? Would you like to find yourself spending hours working in your specialty, but not being a leader?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you must remain in your place of residence to be eligible. Your frustration is understandable, but dropping out won't get you where you want to be. If bullying, bullying, or harassment causes you to leave your program, seek the help of a mentor (preferably the homeroom teacher in your major) who can protect friend. Chances are, that person or people who behave unprofessionally with you will also behave unprofessionally towards others, and your complaint could be one of many.
