consisted of postponing the boards. See previous post. Who knew that relearning all of ob/gyn and ID (antipseudomonal drugs, anyone??) would take so long. Or, probably more importantly, that I would be so unmotivated to study? It's fourth year, man!
So now I am living life. It's the least structure I've had in my schedule for some time. There are things I need to accomplish each day - research, writing, boards studying, interview prep, etc, etc, - but it's totally 100% up to me to accomplish them. Of course, in the past, I was also 100% responsible, but it's a little different when that responsibility consisted of going to class or showing up at the hospital. The way my schedule works out, I am basically taking 4 months "off" to do this whole research/interviews/boards/etc thing. Then I'm going to be a glutton for punishment and spend a month in the MICU (see knowing antipseudomonal drugs part - above). And then, after that, I am going to spend 2 months abroad on an away clinical elective! Our school has a formal clinical exchange program with an international medical school and each year, a few of us go there and vice versa. I have wanted to do this program since second year, and I am so excited to go!
Now I am going to go learn those fetal heart tracings...
