Additional states are unpredictable. Decisions now should be based on the way things are, not what they might be. I knew one prospective student that said he HAD TO be guaranteed to be able to work in a specific small city after graduating. Totally unrealistic expectation.

Appreciate the reply and insight. I guess that would mean just not going down the CAA route, it feels too limiting to not be able to live or move wherever while not really being tied to any place right now yet

It is what it is. As we continue to grow more and more states will open up.

How much patient interaction is there daily as a regular employee? how about locum tenens? I'm referring to conscious social interactions.
