About Love In The Time Of Medical School: Build A
Product Description Nobody told you how difficult it would be to date a medical student. Your partner endures long hours, endless exams, and unpredictable clinical rotations. They learn to speak a different language and are asked to dedicate themselves to training with single-minded focus. And you? You work hard to pursue your goals while taking care of yourself and your relationship. I wish somebody had told me what to expect and how to maintain a happy, healthy relationship while dating a medical student. Nobody told me those things, but I’m here to tell you. I scoured research about medical couples, interviewed almost two dozen other medical partners, and drew from my experiences to bring you this book. How do successful medical couples do it? I’ll show you. Lear how to… • Contend with medical school’s demanding, unpredictable schedule • Avoid medical couples’ most common pitfalls and arguments • Build robust support systems and reframe time spent alone • Build new communication habits and utilize the power of small gestures • Pursue your goals and support your partner. You’ve struggled long enough. It's time to improve your relationship. Review "In this engaging and detailed book, Sarah includes every single stage of medical school and how to deal with each stage in your relationship in a healthy way. She even includes questions to ask yourself and each other and tips for overcoming obstacles. She addresses a myriad of topics, such as long-distance relationships in medical school, possible resentment of the medical student spouse or significant other, how to split housework, how to deal with all of the "medical talk" that happens in groups of friends, and how to keep your relationship healthy when time spent together is limited. And MORE." --The Mrs. Behind the MD "This book helps to provide coping mechanisms for both you and your med student. This book also addressed a lot of the feelings that I've been on able to vocalize, but constantly feel pressure about: feeling dumb in comparison to the medical lingo surrounding you, feeling as though your career choices are less significant, balancing where the majority of sacrifice or come from in the relationship, etc. I'm excited to implement what I learned, and hopefully keep a strong and healthy relationship over these next four years." -- Helen Paulmeno "...Even seasoned medical spouses will feel comforted by the characterization of medicine as the third member of the relationship, as well as by the discussion of how things like uneven emotional support and comparative stress are common in these relationships." -- Physician Family Media About the Author Sarah Epstein is a marriage and family therapy intern, author, and international speaker.
