I hope that forum members who have been in this situation (I'm certain the poster isn't the only one that this has ever happened to), will provide some thoughts. As always, you may PM them to me or otherwise indicate if you wish your responses to be anonymous.
Well, to make this the very least personal. My question is how does a DUI or two arrests affect the chances of getting into a residency program or medical licensing. NO convictions have been made but not sure of the outcome I am curious as to how this will truly affect someone in the medical field. A third year medical student getting ready to apply next year to a surgical residency with average scores I wonder if this is something that will drastically affect that. Even if the charges are reduced or dropped the arrest remains on record. I know DUI is a misdemeanor but still.. it is a substance issue and also not one but two. Any input, advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
