I am scheduled to take a few more board exams soon. I get so nervous for exams and I hate taking them...I guess I picked the wrong profession because I will be taking exams for the rest of my professional career! I was finally able to get my electives for the rest of the summer scheduled after my exams. It was a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders! One of the difficult things about being a Caribbean medical student (at least at my school) is that we have to schedule all of our electives on our own. I had a hard time getting my rotations scheduled and I am thrilled to be scheduled until September. I decided to apply for a few rotations at non-affiliate hospitals for next fall in adult and pediatric hematology and oncology. I am trying not to get my hopes up for these rotations, as these hospitals are some of the best in the United States, if not the world, and it is difficult for anyone who isn't affiliated to get one of the handful of student spots available for students at non-affiliated schools. But, you never know unless you try and I am trying. I probably won't find out if I get a spot at one of these hospitals until June, at the earliest, so I am hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. I have been spending a ton of time working on getting my summer rotations scheduled and filling out applications for rotations the non-affiliate hospitals. It is such a relief to be able to solely focus on my studies.
It's a bit surreal: next fall/early winter, I'll be finished with medical school.
