As a one-time interviewer and two-time interviewee...

…to me, this looks flaky. Yes, Scott Adams (of-Dilbert-fame) is right in saying your best bet for success in life is being pretty good in several skills rather than trying to be the best ever in only one. So, a plan like this:

  1. Step one: become a decent entrepreneur
  2. Step two: become a decent MD
  3. Step three: ???
  4. Step four: profit!

might indeed be a good idea. However:

Residency programs exist to train physicians, not CEOs. Residency slots are already in short supply. Would program directors give a position to someone who is more likely to end up not practicing medicine at all?
