PGY1 is chalk full of projects and presentations...start on these and get them done EARLY! Our current residents are scrambling to get everything done over the next 2 weeks. Not a great place to be.

I agree, my life is absolutely glorious right now as I transition into PGY2 because I finished all my projects at the beginning of residency before the research and teaching really dialed up.

I was in the same boat. Never liked having things on my to do list, so front loaded all my projects as usual. The other 3 residents was poking fun at me at first, calling me a workaholic. But I got the last laugh. Mwahaha.

Find something else to do before you waste a whole bunch of time and money on a dying and obsolete profession.

Just curious - what's your day-to-day like at the PBM?

Any negative things about the job yet?

run away from this ugly profession. run AWAY before it is too late.

Awesome that you guys have great input, but seriously there's pros and cons to any job, none is perfect but this is as close to perfect for me, plus I'm happy in it but back to the topic at hand, other than time management, what other paddles do I need to row this boat???
