And are night clinics a good idea? I prefer night. 8-10 hours a day. Also, Maybe Saturday, but no Sundays!

it depends on whether you are working alone in your own office where you set the times or in a practice with other doctors that already has a set schedule, and yes, a night time clinic is a good idea for working people and college kids........

NO WAY do Dr's get to pick and choose their hours. They are on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week, no holidays. You can plan on "not scheduling" any work, but if you have a patient who gets sick, in an accident, heart attack, in the ER...you get a call, you have to go!!
Most family practitioners work during the hours that mothers are likely to be taking their kids to the clinic...not midnight - 3am, unless mommy is a stripper or a drug addict or both.
You might want to think out this career choice a bit more thoroughly before you start taking college courses.

It can if you are a single person without kids, and after you do your internship. Anything that would take up your time would take less from your daily routine, and it sounds like you are heavy into the martial arts. You may be forced to cut back though, or split your time into 2-hour increments at different times of the day, depending on your work/study schedule. If you are currently studying, 2 hours is great, shouldn't be a problem. I would think it would help you stay sharp if anything, just don't cut on your sleep. Hope this helps :)

I think as a doctor, as long as you don't care about making big bucks more than helping people, you can work whenever and wherever you like. I think emergency clinics are always looking for evening shift doctors, and it's often easier for working people to visit a Dr. in the evening.

IF YOU HAVE HOSPITAL RIGHTS, YOU MUST ROUND ON YOUR PATIENTS DAILY, BUT THERE ARE USUALLY PARTNERS IN MEDICAL PRACTICES THESE DAYS AND YOU ROTATE WEEKEND/NIGHT DUTY. IF YOU WANT TO WORK NIGHTS, MAYBE YOU DON'T NEED A PRACTICE, YOU CAN BE HIRED BY A HOSPITAL AND RECIEVE UNASSIGNED PATIENTS THAT COME IN THROUGH THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

Maybe , after your intern and resident years (nite shift time there) .
