So... I have found myself VERY busy for the past month! I cannot believe how quickly things have flown by. After two big tests, my first course, Fundamentals of Clinical Medicine is now complete! It was so much information and I ended up having lecture 8 hours a day, then studying for another 4 or 5 hours afterword til about 10:00 every night (when the building closed). I have really enjoyed all the information and the challenge of learning medicine. It has, no doubt, been a lot of work and will continue to get harder as next semester approaches, but I can't wait until we get to do a little more 'hands on' with physical exams and working with patients.
I do get the opportunity in two weeks to volunteer at the health clinic down the street from the school for an evening. It will basically be shadowing and following one of our professors around, doing a few things here and there. I will give the update on how that goes, it should be a lot of fun.
I have also been selected to be class Vice President! Its such a great opportunity to do a lot of good for my class, and get some more great leadership experience. I'm not exactly sure what is in store for me in this position, however I will give it my best effort and put all that I can into helping our class to succeed.
The next upcoming course is Infectious Disease and Immunology, and this is technically our first Clinical Module. It will be a lot of work, just like everything i've done so far, but will be important for my clinical foundation. The end of the semester is soon approaching (the beginning of August) then we will have our white coat ceremony. Which should be a lot of fun too! Just starting my journey, and so much to look forward to!
