TRAVERSE CITY – Abigail Nielsen wants to be a doctor. That means four years in an undergraduate program. Another four years of medical school. Tack on another three years of residency work and perhaps an additional couple of years for a specialty fellowship.
Nielsen, a Northwestern Michigan College freshman, has a long road ahead of her, and her long-term plan includes a long-acting reversible contraceptive – an intrauterine device.
She considers her IUD a five-year insurance policy against a pregnancy-related dropout, she said.
“Kids are great but they require a lot of time and money, and I can’t imagine raising one while in medical school,” Nielsen said. “I know I’m not ready for that yet.”
