You busted your butt for YEARS to get into medical school, and now you’ve got OPTIONS—multiple med school acceptances. But what happens when your relationship starts interfering with your doctor dreams?

This week, I had a conversation with a student struggling to decide between her dream med school and her boyfriend’s feelings. She got into multiple med schools, and one of them offers a clear residency pathway. But her boyfriend? He wants her to stay local because he doesn’t want to move away from his friends. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Let me be real with you—if your partner isn’t willing to support your dreams now, do you really think that’s going to change once you’re a busy med student, then a resident, then a full-blown doctor?
