Yesterday I completed my last day as a medical student at a rotation site. That was the last time I will ever have to introduce myself as a medical student to a patient! My last day in a short white coat!
It was a great day. I was shadowing an ob/gyn at a community health center. I really, really love women’s health in an outpatient setting. We had obstetrical visits, gyn consults for cervical dysplasia, an endometrial biopsy, an infertility consult, a follow up for results of imaging for pelvic pain…there is such a great variety.
I am going to really miss it during my next year doing a traditional rotating internship in a hospital. I am sure I will learn a lot, which should make me feel more comfortable with handling the multitude of general medical issues that can crop up in women’s health and eventually make me a better, more well rounded physician.
Anyway, WOOHOOOOOO! I’m done!
Congrats! When I was in high school my friend and I used to chant “It’s over, it’s over, it’s over” and that chant stayed in my head throughout law school.
Thanks! Yes, it has been a long haul, and I am definitely chanting right now.
Congratulations!
Thanks!
Congrats! How exciting! Enjoy your summer.
Woohoooooo! Many, many congrats going your way. What you have done is no small feat. (And I just want to add that I love seeing your passion for what you do. You’ll do good by lots and lots of women who seek out care from you, you know.)
Thanks! You’re so sweet.
