Doctors Dating — On Your Schedule

Doctors work some of the longest and most irregular hours of any profession — and residency is worse.

Why dating is hard for doctors

  • Call schedules devour weekends without warning
  • Post-call you're not good company, you're a zombie
  • The hours don't get normal after residency, they just get different

Why doctors are worth dating

  • Your post-call days are real days off — nobody's Slacking you
  • You've got the discipline to actually show up when you say you will
  • Matching with another clinician means neither of you has to explain the life
