Fingers, toes, and eyes are all crossed for you, Robbie! You've got this!

[Ima Facultiwyfe]

Sure hope you land here, Doc! You see.... I have this sinus problem and ...oh well, that can wait. We're still hoping to get Native back here for a stint at Fuqua but he's non-committal on the subject. It would be so great to have you both back among us! Keep us posted and best of luck!
Love, Ima

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, including DUKE MED, to get back to me!) Could I cheer for The U??!

Congratulations! You will be outstanding wherever you end up!

Thank you for all of the good wishes! Your support over the past 10(?!) years has been so uplifting.

I ranked a total of 11 programs! Duke, Emory, Mount Sinai, and Miami are my top choices. Each of these have a particular emphasis on global health research (which is fairly rare in ENT) in addition to strong clinical training. Duke actually has the first ENT-specific global health research track starting this year, which would give me 2 additional years of residency doing NIH-funded research with the Duke Global Health Institute. This would go a long way in terms of preparing me for an academic career as a surgeon-researcher in global health.

I hope you get your top choice. Did you ever run into Susan Koch- Weser while at Tufts?

Thank you! Interestingly, I haven't run into her despite my MPH curriculum. I have seen her name floating around the public health department, though.

I was just curious - I went to high school with her husband in Seoul, Korea.

Congrats on the pending med school graduation, and best of luck with residency placement!

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

I read this only moments ago and already my face hurts from smiling so much. Great news! Congrats!!

Whilst noodling around I thought I might share some more med school news, in May, my eldest, affectionately and sometimes mentioned here as "Swee'Pea", graduated from UC- San Francisco Medical School. It was virtual, and we weren't allowed to celebrate in person. I don't think she likes "Dr. Swee'Pea", maybe "Dr. Turk" will stick. She got her first match, and will be spending the next 3 years in San Jose, in the Stanford - O'Connor Family Medicine Residency Program. She's working long days, but is enjoying it. We'll go out for a long weekend later this month, and she'll come east in December.

Congrats!!

BTW, I like Dr. Swee'Pea way more than my last doctor's literal name.
Dr. Grimm.
