I leave on the 29th to start my next adventure. My world wind tour will start in Texas, then onto Miami and finally I'll land in Dominica on January 4th. I'm sad to leave my family at home, but I'm also excited to start this next phase of my life.
I've ordered my books and all of my doctor equipment. At this point I look like I know what I'm doing more than I know what I'm doing! Give me a few months, and I will amaze you with my knowledge. Just think, in approximately three and a half years, I'll be Dr. Baca!! Of course before I can practice, I have to do my residency (another three to five years depending on the specialty) and if I subspecialize I'll have another three or four years! For example, if I decide to do pediatric oncology, I will have to do a three year residency after medical school years to be a pediatrician then another three or four years to complete the hematology/oncology fellowship: approximately ELEVEN years!!! Recently, I've been more and more interested in Infertility and Reproductive Endocrinology (which would also be approximately eleven more years: OB/GYN residence and Infertility fellowship after medical school).
I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
