In 3 more days or so, several of us will officially be done with intern year and get to truly begin our anesthesiology training...FINALLY!!!

I know some out there are on vacation and moving to the city of their new residency, but I know there some interns out there, who like me, have to work all the way up until the 30th.

I was just seeing what kind of emotions everyone's going through, i'm sure there's a big mix of excitement and nerves.

For me, I start my clinical anesthesiology training with two months of orthopedics...guess it will be cool. Right now, I am just begging to get off of the floor.

Good luck to all!!

You have no idea how much your life will improve as a result of this. Of course, it'll take awhile... The start of CA1 year can be really rough because what you're doing is SO different from what you do as an intern. All year, you've been getting better and better at being an intern, so you feel on top of your game now. But come July 1st, it seems like none of that counts for anything and you start all over at the bottom. Come october, november, though, as you head back out onto the floors for consults, tubes, preops, pain service, you'll REALLY start to feel how nice is to have left that environment behind. As a guy who really thought about bouncing out to do IM after really liking my intern year, and who didn't come to terms with liking anesthesia right away, I thank myself consciously about once a week for sticking with it.

Good on ya, man. They can't hurt you anymore.

I've been home in Hawaii this week eating, drinking, and surfing. Life is good.

We had a month of anesthesia as interns- it was pretty draining having to learn a new skill set essentially from scratch after finally having mastered the art of internship, but the whole "Never again another admission H&P or post-call rounding marathon" thing is pretty frigging great.

Holy crap. Just a few hours tomorrow morning, and I'm gonna peace out.

Feels like I've (finally) graduated med school all over again.
