Decisions...Decisions...

This is one of those blog entries where I just talk about what's on my mind. In about six months, I will begin interviewing for residency. I will tell you what, trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up is a hard decision! I am grateful that we get to make decisions, but I don't want to have to make this decision. There are so many factors that play a role: lifestyle, family, interests outside of medicine, being excited to go to work each day...It is definitely a hard process. I think I've gotten too used to just going to more school and never having to make a decision, but now it's time. I know I don't want to do internal medicine, OB/GYN, or peds (even though I love kids). I do know that I like surgery and family practice, and I am excited to see what emergency medicine is like. March of next year, I will know where I am going for residency. Although the process of med school has been painful at times, it is crazy how fast it is going by. Well, for those of you who have read this far, thanks for letting me speak my mind.
