Mainly a question to my fellow MSI's (MSII now!)... just curious what everyone is doing this summer.

As for me--I'll be doing a bit of Pathology shadowing, a bit of volunteering and a lot of sleeping 😀
 
Hopefully getting a new car, some home improvements, finishing my thesis I put off when I got into med school and very little pertaining to medicine or studying.
 
I'm not MSII just going to be MSI in the fall, so no professional development necessarily (shadowing or research) for me then, but in case MSI care to discuss too:

...this summer is gonna be about relaxing and preparation for me. I'm currently still in Europe (back from military deployment and wife is here till June for her job), I'm not working but just relaxing as I have been for the last 1 and 1/2 months, just playing guitar, leisure reading, biking the countryside, working out quite a bit as well like running lifting etc.., site seeing, meditating, lots of lovin with the wifey... life is good and this summer will continue to be if I have my way when we move back to the states and move into the new home in West DSM.

The summer before starting DMU I am planning on sticking with the routine mentioned and adding more hiking/camping and running more to prepare for upcoming 1/2 marathons. I'll also make preparations for school in the weeks before it starts of course. Not studying really, but I will figure out how I might want to manage my time for the school year so that I can stay energized and on top of things academically and professionally and still have a minimum of time for leisure with the family. Those are my summer plans.

I'm primarily doing EM-related research at a hospital, shadowing the trauma service at another, and continuing with my primary care mentorship program. Somehow I'll squeeze in a few weeks of vacation back in San Fran, trips to Wildwood, NJ and Virginia Beach... oh and Hawaii!!!!!

She sounds hot!
 
I'll be taking off for nearly two months...backpacking the John Muir Trail and a section of the Pacific Crest Trail. Ripping myself out of the lethargic grind of everday life and turing to the wilderness to lose myself into contemplation and experience.
