Hey all,
Looking to gain some insight into what I should do to prepare for July 1 when I will be starting as a CA-1.
A little background on me, currently wrapping up my PGY3 year in general surgery at a large program in NYC. Long road to realize surgery was not for me. Spoke to my PD, chairman, etc - most where shocked to say the least, but supportive. Entered the match again, and matched at a great place in the tri state area.
What should I do to prepare for CA-1 year? I have been 100% surgery up until recently, and don't want to enter the year with a "surgical" way of thinking. I don't know jack about anesthesia.
Any input would be a huge help! (What should I read in between now and July, pointers, etc.)
Thanks!
