Kids are a tough thing for women in med school. Good points to have them are the 1st year of school (although breathing formaldehyde while pregnant may not be a good thing) and the end of 4th year, as rotations tend to be less demanding (electives) and you have a bit of a break pre-residency. If you were to get an MD/MPH, the MPH year would be another good point to have a kid.
As far as your interest in international medical issues, I can suggest AMSA's Global health interest group and Doctors without Borders...these could be 2 good places to start...
Good luck! |
