Although I have less than 6 months left of training {technically}, I still got to celebrate with my class. There were lots of tears shed last night, and speeches of thanks and well wishes.
It is definitely a long road for us resident doctors. There's 4 more years of schooling after college. And in my case 5 years of training until I become board eligible in child neurology.
My mom kept bugging me when I will get a job.... She is used to me being in school and training that the thought of graduation finally here is almost unbelievable. "What if she doesn't pass?" She asked my program director. {what?! Mom?! Give me some credit here}
It was a lovely dinner and evening. And you bet I will be even more sentimental when I'm officially technically done with residency with an even mushi-er blog entry early next year.
Thanks to my husband for being with me through the years in med school and residency. As I always tell him, the MD degree and the residency training is as much his accomplishment as mine. I would not have made it through the years without his love and support. This is an awesome Father's Day gift for him too.
1. This man stayed with me through on call, post call and days in between

ReplyDeleteCongrats a million! What an incredible day :) I love how you said that your M.D. degree is as much your husband's accomplishment as yours; I thank God every day that Stephen has been with me through this experience; I don't know how I would do it without him.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your dress is adorable.
Congrats and you look so great!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations Dear! Med school is a difficult journey, especially the residency part. All those patients and cases and sleepless nights are now definitely worth it. I hope that you're getting the hang of everything, of course being a mommy and a doctor as well. You are one great woman! Keep it up! :D
