“If I Wanted to be Married to a Doctor, I Would Have Married a Doctor… Not a Med Student.”

Coursework, clinical work, and studying. Lack of sleep, no free time, and absence of leisure. Stress, anxiety, and depression. Medical school is hard. Not only does it consume a med student’s time and energy, it also consumes his mental and emotional capacities. But what if you want a relationship while in med school? What does that mean for the med student? What does that mean for the med student’s significant other? “At Least You’ll Be Married To A Doctor” takes you on a step by step journey through the realities of managing an intimate relationship during medical school. From adapting to the initial difficulties and learning skills to address these, through to the ultimate realization of a healthy and balanced relationship, Jordyn Paradis Hagar describes this process in detail. She provides the reader with an understanding of the experiences that many med school relationships encounter and the tools needed to manage them along the way.
