How is the work life balance actually?

I’m aware residency is the most toughest part of this whole journey after getting into a med school that is. But how is it actually like being a doctor?

Is it really all that ‘no work life balance’ and can’t do things outside of medicine and have a family and all that??

Cuz I really want to do medicine and become a physician but at the same time I do also want a life outside of the hospital and have a family of my own, time for other things I love, etc.

Obviously some sacrifices have to be made but how bad is it actually?

What happens when med students/residents get sick?

Just curious to know like do they get days off or are they still expected to come to work even when pretty sick?

Like for example it’s a bad cold and a fever and chills… do they take the day off?

How does it really work?

Is the pre-med committee letter worth it?

I'm a rising Junior planning to apply to med schools in June of 2027... I've heard stories about GSU's pre-med committee letter doing more harm than good and wasn't sure..

Should I do it? If so, then by when should I have it done? What's the process for getting LORs from professors/mentors/physicians I've worked with?

How to use uworld qbank effectively during content review phase?

So I'm planning on testing in february of 2027 and applying in June 2027... and i just recently bought the uworld qbank and im still very early in my content review phase. I was trying to do 15-20 questions from uworld on bio as i'm doing bio review right now but it feels like its testing me on things i don't even know yet and I feel really dumb and lost on if i'm even doing it right.

Does anyone have tips on how to go about this??
