Done with the busy week.  The interviews went well and I feel like any of the programs I have interviewed with would be great matches.  Now I have to decide my preference and its not going to be the easiest of choices.  I have a few weeks to turn in my "Rank Order List" and am trying to figure out if I can make a quick trip up to Newark to take a look around.  Started my Infectious Disease rotation today.  I should be good - I will be working one-on-one with the attending.  I'm looking forward to it.  I better run and get playing in while a I have a few minutes.

Hi all.  A busy week coming up.  I finish up with my ambulatory pediatrics rotation Monday ands then off on the interview trail for the rest of the week.  Lansing, Michigan is the first stop then a second visit to Brooklyn.  Finish up the week in Newark.  The week after I start an Infectious Disease rotation.

Just a quick note this time.  I got my CSA scores back.  I passed.

5 Jan 03

Arrived back in Jersey.  Start an Ambulatory Pediatrics rotation tomorrow.  Only 11 weeks of clinical time left until all the requirements are complete.  As you know I took the Clinical Skills Exam (CSA) back in November - just waiting for the score.  I'm not real worried about passing, but feel uneasy about how practical exams are scored - did I complete what they were looking for?  Of course official graduation isn't until mid-May.  I am in the middle of applying for Emergency Medicine residency training.  More interviews at the end of this month.
