Damn good job. Genuinely happy for you, I think more so because I can relate so closely.

I've made the very tough decision to not pursue a residency after medical school and to finally commit to jumping into the startup world. It's both really frightening and exciting to go in a completely different direction after dedicating 4 years of my life to rigorous education. I graduate in May, so I've been trying to absorb as much information and to develop as many skills as possible in preparation for the leap. I'm hoping to perhaps find some good opportunities during Startup School weekend.

So I really commend you for making the jump. And thanks for writing about it. It's encouraging and reassuring, especially since I've been told I'll end up homeless if I take this risk.

kyro - I want to congratulate you on your decision! I went through the same thing (graduated in 2011) and it was indeed very difficult at the time. Over time your friends and family will come around and realize you made the best decision for yourself. Work hard, find a great mentor, and enjoy the ride !

My cofounder's residency is making it impossible for her to continue with our healthcare startup. Write me.
