I would have to go with program ONE. Family and support is HUGELY important in residency no matter what you pick. If you can be near family/friends it is a major PLUS as you do not know what life will bring ie how much you will need them. Good luck.

My son has ADHD. Of course he does! I've known since he was an infant that something was off. Became even more apparent when his sibling was born and I realized "oh, this parenting thing can actually have moments of FUN. This is why people have

Do you have a contract? If so, then you are free to be pregnant and be happy. If not, don't mention it until you do, and press to get one signed as soon as possible. Good luck.

I recently graduated from a psych residency. I would look for how therapy-heavy the training is. If you are interested in it, then you have to go to a program that teaches it. If you aren't interested, you will likely be frustrated if you have to

Just from reading your post, the first one sounds better. I had twins (by surprise!) my 3rd year of psych residency, and it was invaluable to be near my family these last few years. Having little supervision during 1st year does not sound good -- th

I listened to a radio show online about how to help women thru things like this (I plan on going into Ob-Gyn, so it isn't as strange as it sounds). It is a really good listen, if you can find the time. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/progressive...-pr

Thanks, sahmd! I finally broke down and called the financial aid office of the school I plan to apply to, and they were very helpful. I will certainly consider your thoughts, as well as loan options.
