Friends, it's been a while. Needless to say, I've neglected this blog for quite a while so here's to hoping I can do a better job going forward.
Anyways, as many of you may (or may not) know, I originally applied to 17 medical schools. Out of those 17, 16 of them rejected me. Many of the schools that I thought I was a lock for an interview or acceptance were the schools that rejected me early on in the process. Needless to say, the whole medical school application process has been a very humbling experience. My faith has been tested, but I can honestly say that God has provided for me in amazing ways.
This brings me to the medical school I'll be attending. At the beginning of August, I'll be starting my journey at Wayne State University's School of Medicine. I'm definitely excited by the multitude of opportunities WSU has to offer as well as the chances I'll have to serve the Detroit population. I know working and learning in Detroit will definitely force me out of my comfort zone, but I believe this whole experience will help me grow both as a physician and person.
As for what specialty I want to choose, I honestly have no clue yet. It changes on a daily basis. I have thought about pediatrics, radiology, anesthesiology, and general surgery just to name a few, but I am pretty open to anything. I figure with my lack of experience in the medical field, I can go through my clinical rotations in the 3rd year with an open mind and pick the specialty that best suits my passions and skills.
That's pretty much it for now! I have a couple more blog ideas (like how I decided between engineering and medicine), but those will come at a later date. Enjoy the weather and see you all next time!
