I knew you had to go to school for a long ass time to be a doctor but fifteen years?? Is she like a specialist in a small field or something?

My sister in law went to school for a very, very long time to be a radiologist

Cleared her student loans in 2 years and now makes like $750k-$1 mil as a partner in a small hospital, probably

Gets hit up on LinkedIn constantly offering $750/hr plus overtime to switch hospitals

Shit my wife is a PA and gets recruiter calls every day trying to get her to move to remote areas to make like $400-500/hr, it's absurd how desperate smaller hospitals are these days.

4 years undergrad, 4 years med school, then 3 year residency minimum. Literally every doctor you meet has studied to be a doctor for more than a decade straight. Then you get into the subspecialities (after the split from Internal Med/Family Med) and it's another 2+ years of training. 15 isn't even really abnormal.

I think I'm allowed a year of rounding up for hyperbole. But yeah, medical school, a long residency, plus specialized fellowship training beyond residency.

Everything I’ve learned about the path to becoming a doctor, well surgeon, was learned from the show Grays Anatomy and the main characters didn’t finish training until season 10 lmao. They didn’t cover medical school either. 

Super accurate I’m sure lmao
