SIMPLE QUESTION Extended Travel

So, I’ve always wanted to take 6 months to a year off to eat-pray-love around the world. However, this career happened to me and all of the sudden I found myself stuck on the railroad track. Has anyone heard of someone doing this with a career in medicine? Obviously the debt and maintaining my clinical skills are a concern, but I’m sure it can be done. Help me break outside the mold. I’m sick on being a complacent career student.

Thank you for contributing to the sub! If your post was filtered by the automod, please read the rules. Your post will be reviewed but will not be approved if it violates the rules of the sub. The most common reasons for removal are - medical students or premeds asking what a specialty is like, which specialty they should go into, which program is good or about their chances of matching, mentioning midlevels without using the midlevel flair, matched medical students asking questions instead of using the stickied thread in the sub for post-match questions, posting identifying information for targeted harassment. Please do not message the moderators if your post falls into one of these categories. Otherwise, your post will be reviewed in 24 hours and approved if it doesn't violate the rules. Thanks!
