I have some questions for those of you who are fellows or attending toxicologists. What are your thoughts about taking some time off in between residency and fellowship (not a ton of time, but like maybe a year or two) versus going straight into fellowship? Did any of you take time off? If so, what did you do? I assume most people would work as EPs. Also, how much harder do you think it is to go back after some time away from training versus coming straight out of residency? I think it would potentially be harder because you'd have to take a hit in income and you'd maybe be less competitive for fellowships versus an applicant coming straight from residency. Finally, when is the best time to apply for fellowship? Should you start applying a year in advance of when you want to start?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some insight.
