OB/GYN

Today was a full day of studying, classes, and free lunch yet again! Last week I went to meetings during lunchhour and got two free lunches and this week I also got two free lunches (then there were left overs so I took some for my dinner too!) All in all, free food rocks!

I am a member of the OB/GYN club and today we had a meeting over lunch that included a panel of four family doctors who also deliver babies. They got additional training in obstetrics so they are able to deliver selected patients' babies. I thought that the talk was interesting and I actually look forward to our meetings.

After the meeting the president of the club came over and said that I have been the only student who has attended all of the meetings the OB/GYN club has had, and they would like me to be an officer next year for the club. She said that she wants people who are enthusiastic and interested in the club's focus. I said that I would think about it, but I think that I am going to do it. From what I understand there are four meetings a semester (to which I am required to attend) and I would also play a part in organizing the monthly speakers - so I would email various doctors and see if they would be willing to talk at our school and other various things. It not only lets me have a say in what happens in the club, but also looks good on a resume for residency programs.

I am pretty excited about this. Even though I do not really know what I want to do when I "grow up". I guess that's what clinical rotations are for during my third and fourth years.
