You can work part time, leave and restart, do whatever you want and need, but YOU OWE the society that trained you to give back. You took a spot that is now "lost" and your skill needs to be available to the public. Its not about gender, it's about taking up a highly needed space for training, and then not practicing that skill/profession....what a waste of everyones time and money. it is not about gender….if you take up a spot at a state dental school, where the taxpayers are greatly funding your education, and your profession is in a shortage to serve/provide those skills to the public, then you need to make a committment to provide that skill for a mimimum of 10 to 15 years, to “pay back” society.
