    Can't thank the algorithm enough for this video. Could you make a video of how you balance their attachment style and medical school? The only thing keeping me from pursing medical school is the fear of losing my partner through lack of time that will lead to them feel neglected (date nights, intimacy etc.). My partner has an anxious attachment style but with a full medical school plate, I worry that I won't be able to carve out enough time for them. Thanks!

    I’m so happy you found this video too! I’m not too familiar with attachment types, but I could look into it! I think if you and your partner come into medical school with a plan and the right expectations, you guys will succeed. I think Madison and I will do more videos like this to share more strategies that we’ve used to make it.

    They are essentially mandatory for the more competitive specialties (eg, all the surgical ones). You do these because it increases your chances at matching at your top choice programs and gives you the opportunity to experience different programs throughout the country.
