For now, my time at St Joe's has ended. My inpatient rotation there ended about a week ago, and I am happy to have had the opportunity to work there. I was definitely nervous at first, because I was a...

We have now finished half of our required clerkships for M3 year, and it feels a bit surreal. On one hand, it feels like we've been working in the hospital for so long that our studies before seem a d...

As you might have gathered from the title, I'm currently in my Pediatrics rotation. Less than one week into the six-week rotation, I fell victim to the notorious Peds curse – catching a cold from...
