First Rotation
I'm so excited to report that I have officially started my third year of medical school. For those of you who are not familiar with my "professional student" status, I have been conducting research in physiology for about four years at Loma Linda University. Prior to that, I had finished the first two years of medical school. So I have been waiting almost half a decade to get back to the wards...
My first rotation was Family Medicine and began on Sept 4, 2006 at Kaiser Riverside. I am now starting my Internal Medicine rotation (October 2, 2006 - January 8, 2007) where I'll be on call every fourth night.
I'll post a few pictures from Kaiser Riverside soon. In the meantime, here is a list of the top 5 things about my first rotation:
- Fantastic residents to work with (four were from Loma Linda and actually were previous classmates of mine)
- Specialty clinics (derm, ortho, injection clinics)
- Dragon House right down the street (has separate vegetarian menu, better than Lotus Garden in LL but also more expensive)
- Being the only medical student at the clinic (so I got all the attention)
- No call
