"Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn."
--Albert Einstein
Nicole, MD
I'm no longer an expatriate. I started my 3rd year of medical school in Miami and have finished my first set of medical boards, which I passed! I've been to the little island of Dominica and Miami. I completed my Family Medicine, OB/GYN and Internal Medicine clerkships while living in the beautiful city of Miami Beach, FL. I moved to New York City in the beginning of August 2011, passed my second set of boards and finished rotations in Astoria, Queens in December 2011. I have not been posting as much as I have been extremely busy. It is hard to believe that I finished medical school, landed a pediatrics residency and that I'm finally Nicole, M.D.

Ageism in the work place
I saw a pre-teen girl today in the clinic. She was very outgoing and asked me questions about the physical exam and labs. I liked her. Her dad left the room for a moment and this is the conversation that took place:
Pre-teen girl: "How old are you?"
Me: "I am 27-years old. Do you think that is really old?
Pre-teen girl: "No, I have cousins that are older than you. Are you married?"
