What to Expect

This blog will perhaps someday be a log of my experiences, thoughts, concerns, and triumphs over the next couple of years of my life. I won’t only address my medical experiences in a scientific way, but sometimes under a moral construct, or perhaps from a philosophical disposition, as I’m sure the challenges that lay ahead of my generation cannot be championed on just a technical level alone.

I was accepted into the Temple University School of Medicine’s Class of 2012, and, in a couple of weeks, I will no longer be in that temporal space that every accepted pre-med undergrad has been so accustomed to… the space that treats time as a safety cushion, where we can say “yeah, I’m going to medical school”, without actually having to feel the gravity of those words. It’s scary.
