What is the progression and average age of someone who has just completed their OBGYN residency?
I met a 26 year old woman who "claims" to be a doctor who's just completed her residency. in her words:
"I'm an OB/GYN. I'm specialized in Fetal/ Pediatric Surgery. I just finished my residency."
Being a former pre med myself, I say this is IMPOSSIBLE. you figure you enter undergrad around 18, 4 years of UG, 4 years of med school (considering you dont take time to do research and go straight to med school)... and that's 26 right there.
plus interning and residency?!?!
i call shenanigans.. I just wanted advice from people who would know for sure before I call her on it.
Thanks so much! I just dont think someone should go around spouting med advice and claiming to be a doctor if they arent!
