Time off to study..

In other news, when I haven't been helping to build a house, I've been having to study a lot lately as well. I've taken the months of January and February off to study for one of the major tests that we have to take in medical school, the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE). Your score on it pretty much decides where you go to do your residency, or specialty training. For example if you wanted to be a dermatologist or ophthalmologist, you would have to score very very high since those two specialties are in very high demand and now very hard to get into. Due to this fact, most Baylor students schedule into their 3rd year two months to study for this test. That's what I'm currently doing until I take the exam in late Februrary, and afterwards I'll go on to do a month of Family Medicine and then two months of Pediatrics. So if you don't hear from me in awhle, that's what will be up.
