It was a simple white envelope. One piece of paper with the simple line "Congratulations you have matched." The room was buzzing and filled with anticipation. I opened it.. and said one word. "Penn."
I'm moving to the city of brotherly love! Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I am very excited to say that I will be joining the Internal Medicine Program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Simply known as HUP!
After 8 long years in North Carolina I am FINALLY moving. Packing my bags. Taking all my cuteness and enthusiasm for life with me. (sorry NC fellas...) I think you all might have missed the boat on this one. ;) anywho.. I digress.
There is one thing that I have truly learned from the past 8 years of pushing forward through school.
"It's not where you start its where you finish."
Whats next! Philly Watch Out!!!
New Patients :)
New People :)
New Adventures :)
New City :)
New Challenges :)
New Friends :)
The following are my promises to myself in my next city. I'm writing these for when times get rough...
- Never be the whining resident. Just do the work and be pleasant about it.
- Never forget about the patients. They come first.
- Compassion. Trust. Teamwork. Fundamental.
- SLEEP is MY FRIEND.
- Don't be afraid to try new things, get out in the city and be adventurous. I am now on that do not discriminate policy. Equal Opportunity Employer ;)
- Be Assertive, Aggressive and Confident. You were chosen for a reason. Time to be the fly young doctor :)
LETS GO!
Special Shout out to the Davis Crew. Young docs in training.
