In ancient Greece, the asclepion was a healing temple dedicated to Asclepius, the God of Medicine. Asclepius learned the art of surgery from the centaur Chiron and had the ability to raise the dead. The Rod of Asclepius is a roughhewn branch entwined with a single serpent.

Congrats on Match Day!
Congratulations to all the medical school graduates this year, and in particular, to my brother who matched into orthopedics. There is a fracture. I must fix it. I remember my own match day, and it's a big deal, finding out where you will be for the next stretch of training. Of all the transitions I've been through, I think the one between medical school and internship carries the most significance, and in some ways, is the hardest. I write for The American Resident Project, and this month, many of our posts deal with the Match Day experience. Check it out!
