(83,843 posts)I read they had enlisted interns that had not taken their final exams. They need the doctors desperately. We are living in different times.
2 months worth of school isn't going to make the difference between someone being properly educated and stupid. Let them get out there and live their lives. They'll all be fine

I am just hoping college starts in the fall.

I would guess each state will make their own guidelines and exemptions?
