Entering Clinicals

Tomorrow morning marks my first day out on clerkship and in the hospital. I am both excited and scared at the same time. This is finally the time that I begin to learn about real medicine and how to do doctor things. I have dreamed of this for the last two years! Studying endless hours, telling myself, 'get through this part and the next part will be more fun.'

I have lectures every morning at 7:30 AM followed by working with radiology in the morning, then noon hour lecture followed by working back on radiology in the afternoon. I am so excited to get my feet wet, yet, at the same time, I am frightened. I feel like I don't know anything. Honestly, I couldn't tell you one thing that I have learned from my first two years of medical school and now I have to use my knowledge. Frightening.

I will definitely update tomorrow after my first day and I apologize for not posting in nearly a month. That is a long time! I've been trying to enjoy the last bit of my medical leave but now I am ready to move on. Let's hope my brain and body kick into gear here soon too! :)
