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.
