is done!!! I am proud to announce that I have passed my boards! I will not have to suffer through the horror that is the USMLE Step 2 ever again! That was the last major hurdle before graduating so I am really honestly and truly gonna be a MD in December (technicallly Dec but I’m assisting in a class that ends in Jan so really I don’t finish until May). Wow! After all that I have been through in my journey to be a doctor, having this weight off of me is incredible!
I have 2 of 13 interview offers already so I am really getting excited about the finish line. The process of residency planning is daunting. First a long drawn out application with 3 letters of recommendation, a personal statement, a photo, transcripts, etc. Followed by waiting for interview invitations. Then I get to make a list (in order) of the places that I would like to train. The programs make a list of the people they want. The 2 lists are fed into a computer and out pops a job. I won’t find out where that job will be until March 15th at noon.
so many things going on at one time. I am sooo happy right now I could pop!
