Life as a third year has been crazy busy! Working two jobs on top of classes has been difficult for me this term but I'm feeling great because we have a lot of exciting things in store in the coming year. One of the most exciting things coming up has to be our rotations. In fourth year all students go on eight five-week rotations at various places. There are several required rotations like Community and Community Management, Ambulatory Care, and Clinical Pharmacy. We also get to do three elective rotations (!!!). I have been busy picking out my top choices all year. I love pediatrics and it's what I want to do after I graduate so that's what I've been focusing on. Next year we should have both Pediatrics and Neonatology rotations and I'm hoping I can do one of those. It would be a great learning experience and would really help me with my residency plans.
And, of course, there are also lots of other exciting rotations that I can't help but spend time considering even if it not in my direct line of interest.
Some of the coolest ones have to be Poison Control, Infectious Disease and Critical Care.
Speaking of pediatrics, I wanted to share with you some photos of an event I did in my undergrad with a local elementary school. I worked with Future Healthcare Professions of America and we set up a booth where we tried to show kids that going to the doctor or dentist isn't scary.
