Interview season=DONE.  I finished up my last interviews last week on the East Coast, and I am officially done!  Feels great to have completed my whirlwind tour of various anesthesia programs around the country.  It was amazing to see all kinds of anesthesia programs, and definitely made me excited for the future! Can't wait until March 16th to find out where we will be spending the next 4-5 years of our lives!

In other news, my 4-month interview break is sadly coming to an end!  It's crazy to me how fast the time has gone--it seemed like just yesterday I finished my Hospitalist subinternship and went on break.  All in all, however, it has been an amazing few months.  I have read tons of books--including 9 over Christmas break alone!  I've spent a ton of time "training" Stella [it's been going...well?], doing little projects around our house, hanging out with Sarah and my classmates, and now...SMOKER REHEARSAL! That's right, folks, the 90-something annual Smoker is in 6 short weeks, and it promises to be the best one yet!  I'm really excited for the wittiness, amazing singing, dancing, and acting, and overall ridiculousness that is the Smoker. If you haven't heard about it, it's a musical parody of life at UMMS written, directed, acted, and produced--all by medical students.  We are really having an awesome time--check it out March 2 and 3!

Interviews are all done here at UMMS--so for all you prospective applicants and students considering this place, email me at [email protected] if I can answer any questions!

Go Blue!
