Impersonating a First Year

Like many first years, I attended a few "Meet and Greet" events for internal medicine and surgery. I'm also taking "Intro to Internal Medicine" and "Pediatrics Subspecialties." It's refreshing going to these talks; it reminds me of all the exciting possibilities in medicine. I feel like lately second years have been so bogged down with everything that we lose perspective. At these talks and electives, a wide range of attendings, fellows, and residents are enthusiastic to share with us what they love about their jobs. I also learn a lot, especially about pediatric specialties which we've had less exposure to. I really feel like the resources at this school are tremendous.
