Over the next few days I will be trying to recap the amazing 15 days of our 3,929-mile road trip down South. Maybe a picture or two will highlight each of the many cities (and non-cities) we saw throughout the trip. Tonight, however, my mind is on one thing:
I am now officially a third-year medical student. I am a clinical clerk. I am no longer a regular student, someone who sits and listens and learns. I am now a member of a team responsible for the care of real patients. Tomorrow, I report for my first day at Bronx Psychiatric Center, where there will be anyone from the severely depressed to the severely psychotic. Yes, it's nerve-wracking, but I can't wait to learn.

ReplyDeleteI hope it went well Michelle! I am sure that you will learn a lot and love getting to move around instead of sitting in the classroom-plus it will be so rewarding to work with real people instead of spending all our time with textbooks :)
