1. Finish your MD, having that alone will open doors for you. 3rd year sucks but 4th isn’t hard, it’s a 1 year moat/time suck. Just finish.

2. Don’t shit the bed on your STEP 2 - Keep your doors open.

3. Consider doing 1 year of prelim in medicine or surgery if you don’t want to do a full residency. With 1 year of experience you’ll likely find out a lot of problems in healthcare that have tech solutions. Right now as a MS you don’t really know the problems and can’t create something to solve them. And a 1 year prelim allows you to work in emergency clinics as an MD if money gets tight in your other career.
