Hey everyone! It's been a long time, hope you are all well! I'm in residency at Duke these days, and I just started my two research years. That means I'll actually have time for some Duke sporting events. I'm planning to attend the game Saturday with a college friend, my sister, some of her friends,...

Just saw on twitter that he matched with Duke! :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: Duke it is! Coming home to Durham for the next 7 years! I (and my family) couldn't be more thrilled. Now if anyone has any Duke tickets... Apparently none of the ENT faculty have season tickets :|

Thank you for all of the good wishes! Your support over the past 10(?!) years has been so uplifting. :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: Congratulations! I hope you get the match you want. What were your other Match choices? I ranked a total of 11 programs! D...

Hey y'all! It's been what feels like only a few months, but for some reason the calendar says it's been five years. I hope that you are all doing well! Just a quick update - I graduate from medical school in a few months! I took an additional research year last year, and The Match is coming up in Ma...

Just an update so you won't wonder if I decided to stay in Haiti forever: Barring wait list movement from Columbia or Albert Einstein, I'll be attending the Tufts MD/MPH program in Boston this coming fall! Despite the great weather of Miami, I think this option is better for both clinical care and g...

For what it's worth, sources I have close to the team and ones I have close to the Duke Women's Center are all saying the dismissal is related to something that we may find more about in the future. #-o Italics edited by moderator My sources close to the Women's Center are speaking up tonight, too....

Just a weird thought. How would students respond to this? http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/12/30/this-year-im-resolving-to-ban-laptops-from-my-classroom/ Students would be unhappy. I think that the usefulness of a laptop depends largely on the course and the manner in which mate...

Yooooooooooooo! Congrats dude! That's awesome. Sidebar: Gabby — last year's Head Line Monitor in K-Vile, for the uninitiated —ended up going to Miami for med school. I actually ran into her in Starbucks at the UM hospital on my interview day! Crazy, because we were Math 31L ( :ymsick: ) lab partner...

Congrats! Best of luck on your next choices as well, including Duke, of course! Any area you are leaning towards? I'm leaning pretty heavily towards Duke or UNC if I get in. I had really, really great experiences there on interview days. Columbia is definitely up there, too. Haha...I didn't mean ge...

Congrats!! :ymapplause: Hmm... is Emory MD/MPH on the list? :D Emory MD/MPH is on one of the lists -- sadly it isn't yet on the interview list! I haven't heard anything back from them. I think I would love the school, though, as well as the chance to work with the inner-city clinical population at ...

I am very very very very excited to share with all of you, who have had an important role in my life the past five or six years, that I was just accepted to the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine for their MD/MPH program!!! I'm in shock. (But still waiting for six more interview schools, ...

I'm sorry that I missed this, but congratulations CathyCA!! Whenever I see my grandparents they tell me how happy you are. Also, I think I saw pictures of you across the ocean with two of my favorite people in the world? (For the sake of anonymity, their last name starts with a "Mc"!)

So this is Swee'Pea. First of all, I'm very touched by what my dad has been writing and I'm glad that there are people out there enjoying my blog. But I'm also more than a little surprised to come across details of my personal life being discussed by people I've never met. My generation has been wa...

Good afternoon! Just coming up for air and see that I'm way behind. Native took me out to the Apple store yesterday to assist me in the purchase of a new Mac for my office desk. Frustration runs rampant around here since I can't find much of my stuff from my PC. He's going to have to make another h...

Update: I'm living and working in Haiti for the next year as the Residence and Communications Coordinator at St. Boniface Hospital in a town called Fond-des-Blancs!

Last post: here is a plea to anyone familiar with medical school applications/admissions. I am working on my personal statement and would like to get feedback from as many people familiar with this realm of writing. Does anyone have experience with med school personal statements? If so, I would be ...

Hard to believe Swee'Pea has 2 years in the books already. She sent a screenshot of her grades, but I am forbidden to post on FB or forward to anyone in Turk roost. I do enjoy bragging about the kid, and as hard as it might be, I will respect her wishes. I don't think she would be too upset if I li...
