I dont have a stutter. Im a speech path. But this is reddit me, not the speech path me talking lol. Bottom line of the current research is we dont know what a stutter is, what causes it, and therefore we have no real idea how to intervene. There is no hard science agreed on. Since you never have, i encourage you to at least consult a speech path for a bit. But quite frankly, you sound incredible. Youre a doctor, and any kind of clinical program has a very demanding speaking role, especially a doctor. Any kind of counseling you will recieve is going to require you make some sort of inner peace. I also want to reiterate the role imposter syndrome can have in times like these. Youre stutter does not change what kind of doctor you are, it changes the way you communicate. You have made it so far and you can do this. I dont want to be pushy, only encouraging. You sound like you have a lot on your plate.
