Looking Ahead

Match Day has come and gone. And in June, I will start work at Rhode Island Island Hospital, as part of the Brown University residency program in Emergency Medicine! Between now and then, I'm also getting married, graduating from med school, and possibly buying a house or condo.

Busy much?

Hi.

Hi.

It is an interesting time. I'm done with clinical rotations, and now I fill my time by teaching first year med students, finishing my current research project, and going to the gym. I even submitted entries to a few medical student essay contests. Yes, an essay contest just for med students. Because we're known for being such excellent writers.

Anyway, things have been slow. Fortunately, for the last week, Karen and I have been on semi-vacation in Minneapolis, working on some in-person wedding planning. We visited our ceremony and reception sites, tasted some wedding cake samples, and finished most of our gift registry.

I've also been reading for fun -- Paul Starr's "Social Transformation of American Medicine" -- and keeping up my workouts. I've also been playing Wii sports for 1-2 hours a day. Tennis + boxing = very sore shoulders.

Tomorrow we fly back to Cleveland. And Monday we get emails to say whether we matched (yay!) or not. And Thursday is Match Day.

And then we can start planning next year for real!
