I feel your pain. My residency program's director recently rejected my request to go part time yet acknowledged that in the near future it is likely that many residencies will be forced to offer part-time spots. You bet I would, specifically because it required me to go through the inhumane hell that is residency. My job will never be nearly as important to me as my family - not even close.
Some people argue that there's no such thing as part-time doctoring.
If, after residency, I find that to be true, this fantasy about quitting medicine will become a reality. AND the fact that this residency thing is only temporary. MomMD does not provide medical advice or information.
