As of yesterday at 4pm, when I finished my Ob/Gyn shelf exam, I can officially call myself a fourth-year medical student. Holy cow! Time has passed so quickly with practically every minute of my life accounted for by clinical duties, studying, or scheduled relaxation so I can work and study some more. Also contributing to this feeling of time dilation, the past year has been divided into discrete 2-8 week blocks of intense focus on one subject matter.
This next year promises to fly by even quicker. Sub-internships, externships, USMLE Step 2, residency applications, interviews... and so much more!
Congratulations! It must be exciting to be even closer to becoming a full-fledged physician!
ReplyDeleteThank you! One step closer, indeed.
