Well, as the med school cycle comes to a close, I'm sure we're all leaving with many lessons learned. I, for one, have had quite a number of adventures throughout the application process, from stressing with friends, to mishaps on the interview trail.

I draw a comic strip about life at UC Berkeley for the Daily Cal. Since I'll be graduating soon, I've been toying with the idea of making a comic strip chronicling my adventures through med school.

I figured we're all bored and/or wildly stressed right now, so why not start with the application process itself.

LMK what you think:

If people like the idea, I'm hoping to cover such lovely topics as:

The Joy of AMCAS
Northwestern panel interviews
The Financial Aid Office
"The Yale System"
The secret AdCom meetings
PBL
High Pass/Pass/Marginal Pass/Marginal Fail/Fail/Low Fail?
Final Decisions
Penn Rejections
Penn Rejections
Being Waitlisted
SDNing

maybe more?

*edit* yeah I know, the website itself is from my old comic strip, so it doesn't quite match up, just testing the waters
 
Haha! As Peter Griffin would say, "Frickin' Sweet." Well done. Where do you get all these ideas?

this is brilliant, pyrosis. the first comic is already hilarious. i can't wait until charles starts SDNing.
 
how do you make those drawings? Do you do use a computer program or something? They're pretty neat.
 
Yeah! Keep them coming, I'd love to see what's next. 😉

Oh, I draw them by hand, scan them in, then make them into vector art/paint them in illustrator. Kind of a mix of old skool/new school. I think most real cartoonists who do this method use tablets.
 
Just curious, does anybody know of any other med school comic strips out there?
