I know a lot of people who are going to medical school, get the MD, but skip the residency. Being a young doctor really sucks. I go to a primary care practice run by an experienced doc who hires a lot of early career doctors and nurse practitioners, often women. I think the practice as a whole is really high performing but I see a high level of turnover with the young people he brings in.

Thank you for your comment. My main goal isn't to become a physician but rather go into research but it's still something I think I'd enjoy if things don't work out. Out of curiosity, what do these medical school grads do after skipping residency?
I've seen some go into medically oriented startups. I worked on a project for one oriented towards using machine learning to read medical notes. Look up my email in my profile and I'll see if I can get you more info about that.
