Top concerns for med students taking time off

What are some of the most common inquiries posed by medical students considering a leave of absence? Well, one predominant concern revolves around finances. Many students are caught off guard when they realize that their financial aid gets revoked once they take a leave. Consequently, they often wonder how they'll manage financially during their time off. Legally, they can't access financial aid when not enrolled.

Thus, they ask questions like: Do I need to seek employment? Where can I find temporary jobs spanning 3, 6, or 9 months, allowing me to cover rent and other expenses while still having time to study for Step 1 or Step 2 exams during my break?
