Re: Medical School!
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!

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!

Re: Medical School!
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.DukieInKansas wrote: ↑February 14th, 2020, 11:36 am

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.DukieInKansas wrote: ↑March 4th, 2020, 8:15 amI hope you get your top choice.

Re: Medical School!
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

Re: Medical School!
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.

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