Any doctors skydive through medical school?

Subject pretty much sums it up. Just wondering what im getting myself into 3rd and 4th year and how much it affected your jumping.

4th year you might be able to get a jump or two in on certain weekends... but thrid year, less llikely.

I didn't start jumping though until my graduation from med school... which is good cuz then I didn't have that distraction.

Intern year... forget about it.

Don't say it like that, you'll go and discourage the poor kid.

I started jumping halfway through first year. Got my license in about 2 months. Racked up about 450 jump by the time I graduated, so it is possbile.

This year....yeah, not so much. Got 7 in this past weekend, and it had been 6 weeks since the previous jumps. So I am finding this year it really varies with my call schedule.

Good luck and have fun!

well, i've only just started med. school this year but i plan to keep it up! How long this will go on for i do not know but hey, i can always hope! I don't see why i can't, even when i go into clinical years although no doubt i won't b able to go as much, however if i work hard in my holidays i should be able to keep ticking over! What year are you in at the moment?

There's a resident at our trauma center who jumps at Titusville. Not only does he actively jump, but he does alot of medical/skydiving research projects. Almost as good as getting paid to skydive: earning med school credits for it!
