The intern years do look pretty different, but have quite a bit of variety within the rotations, so at least you get exposure to a lot of different cases. Plus, I guess this is a way to get straight to your main specialty interest while still training to operate within a wide array of services. Thank you for the great advice, too! This is definitely something to keep in mind, and better to have some notions (even if vague for now) of good programs that fit our interests and lifestyles sooner rather than later. Plus, it's so much fun to learn more about all of the programs, so this is pleasurable research! Ha, you're so on top of things that when they ask you "where do you see yourself in 10-20 years?" next year you'll be able to list your exact hopeful residency program. Thank you again - very wise words, and this kind of information will only grow in usefulness as the years pass! We'll have to put our heads together in several years when the match comes up (eerie that that isn't as far away as we imagine), as I'm sure by then we'll have good information to pass on and you'll have picked out the perfect thoracic surgery program and will have even more good advice!
On an unrelated note, remember I said that I was going to gift my friend a tswift calendar for his birthday? Well, in addition to that and his main presents, I made his birthday card look like the 1989 album cover with his initials and birth year instead, and of course there is a polaroid-framed hipster-ish photograph on the front. I even put a song list on the back, except each "song" is an inside joke. I've been waiting to get to the computer all day so that I could share this with you, because I had a feeling you'd really like this idea! I couldn't find singing cards, but I think this turned out even better and it looks surprisingly authentic.
You're an amazing friend!!!!! Wow
Congrats on finishing your interview @joonage!!! I'm sure you did wonderfully and I'm so excited to hear your good news in the upcoming weeks!!!
Hahaha thanks @claduva94 -- I appreciate it I'm so shocked and grateful about how this cycle is going! Never did I expect five acceptances by early November, wow. I'm extremely thankful that my schools believe in me! And thanks so much to everyone here for the constant support and kindness
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Nice to have an option close to home
Awwww hahaha thank you!!!!! Yes the campus is quite unique indeed.... You were actually pretty close! They're called trams when I worked there one summer, I would ride the tram up and down over and over for fun on my lunch breaks. Cool kid over here.
I would be right up there with you I did a ton of stuff like that in undergrad.
