Silence

A few months ago, near the beginning of the interview season, I started feeling self-conscious about what I was writing in my blog. Knowing that this is a public space, and that it is entirely possible that residency program directors may find this blog and associate it with me, I felt constrained in describing my thoughts, feelings, and opinions about the residency application process and specific programs. So I stopped writing entirely. This reaction may have been extreme, but it was also the safest and easiest. As a result, though, my family, friends, and other regular readers have missed out on a significant segment of my medical school experience. For this I apologize. I continue to write, without publishing to this blog. After Match Day on March 15th, I will start publishing back-dated posts about my residency application and interview experiences. Until then, I may write on topics that will not directly impact the Match process.
