Tomorrow's the big day that I'm driving to Birmingham!! I'm so excited to spend a whole month with my cousin, Ann Wade. She is such an amazing girl, and I have admired and looked up to her my whole life. I'm sure that the month will be filled with alot of laughs, stories, trips to Target, running, and sharing quality, much needed cousin time!
I will be working in an infectious disease clinic in Birmingham and am very excited. I applied for this rotation nearly a year ago, and have been anticipating its arrival since. The clinical coordinator at UAB seems totally great, and even offered to fly me out there and provide an apartment for the month. The schedule is very packed, and every hour between 8 and 5 is accounted for. I am thrilled that I don't have to work weekends or take call :) ! Along with expanding my knowledge base on HIV and other infectious disease processes, I hope to learn alot about the patients. I hope to gain a fresh perspective on the population of patients we see, and can't wait to interact and learn from them! I am so happy to be in the medical field, and as nice as this three week Christmas break has been, it's going to feel great to put on my white coat and get my first HPI Monday morning. Maybe I'm just a big dork... :)
