This is my first week as a clinical student! It's exciting to start my first clerkship – obstetrics and gynecology. It was a little bit nerve-racking to be given a schedule for the month on the f...

I'm still more or less in a state of denial, but I'm at least peripherally aware that I'm done with my M3 clerkships. Like, completely done. Took the last exam, submitted all my evaluations, done. I e...

What do you do when you’re diagnosed with an ultra-rare disease? For one patient, the answer was simple: Find the experts and never give up.

It was 8 a.m. on a clear Saturday morning with hardly a medical student in sight. I walked briskly past Taubman Library, momentarily thinking of the endocrinology final I would take there tomorrow. Bu...

Our second year of medical school is over! I can't believe how fast it went by. I am very excited to start our clinical years and talk to actual patients, but I will definitely miss M2 year and the un...

It's hard to believe that we now have less than two weeks before we finish our last M3 required rotation. On one hand, it seemed like that the clerkships have been flying by, but it's also hard to ima...

What if I told you there was life outside medicine? Cheesy, I know, but I'd like you to take a second to imagine the possibilities that await you when you attend a university such as Michigan—one...

I had a somewhat eye-opening experience yesterday. I had just gotten back into Ann Arbor the night before and, in typical fashion, already had the day booked solid with appointments, errands, vi...

Well, 2016 is finally over! It was definitely a tumultuous year, with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows (and I'm not just talking about Michigan Football). I think everyone had a collective ...

On six out of seven days every week for the past few weeks, I woke up and headed to the VA (Veterans Affairs) hospital before the sun came up. I generally didn't mind, though some mornings were harder...

Another semester of medical school in the books! It's hard to believe that my class will be on the wards in just over two months! I really felt like I hit a studying groove in M2 year more so than las...
