Session Topic: “Cut the Show”: Taking Time Off in Medical School

Date: Friday, February 16, 2024 @ 7 PM EST | 6 PM CT | 4 PM PST via Zoom Webinar

The goal of this session is for current medical students who are on a year off (either for research, to pursue an additional degree or for other reasons) to discuss the decision-making process to take time off in medicine. Share their experience during their time off, how it’s benefitted them, and considerations that students who may want to take time off should keep in mind, such as CV enhancement, financial implications, and/or career trajectory.

ABOUT THE MED SCHOOL ZOOM PARTY

The Med School Zoom Party is an annually hosted educational series with a historically successful turnout of 150-600 attendees per session! The mission of this series is to provide a free, accessible platform for premedical, post-baccalaureate, and medical students to gain valuable, sometimes unspoken wisdom regarding the journey to medicine. Diverse groups of medical students, deans of admission, faculty, and resident/attending physicians are invited to speak on a variety of unique topics relevant to a career in medicine. Med School Zoom Party is a hybrid of personally invited panelists and a public call for medical students and resident volunteers as panelists.
