Just wondering if anyone who took a year off to do an MBA at a different school during med school could comment on their experience? I'm considering doing this, but haven't talked to anyone else who's done it.
- Do you feel like it was worth it? / Was it an enriching experience? / Did the experience actually bestow knowledge that will be relevant to your future practice?
- Was it more/less difficult than your clinical years?
- Did you have more/less "free time" (to do research, study for step 2, etc) than your clinical years?
- Do you feel that it made you a more competitive applicant for residencies, having those extra letters after your name?
- Would you recommend it to others?
