June 18 ... not much except spending the day getting oriented somewhat to the clinic itself. Tons of forms to fill out, getting packets of papers and trying to meet random fellow intern at the same time hoping that you'll find someone in the same program or someone you recognized during interview trail. Thankfully, I did meet new people but do I remember their names, not likely, but I'll recognize their faces. I did run into a gal that I met on interview trail, can't remember which one but it's nice to see a familiar face around. Met a few other people from Anesthesia as well, but otherwise, a fairly boring day.
Went to a get together over the weekend that was arranged by a couple of medicine folks but ended up meeting more non medicine people. haha how funny. It was fun, just hanging out, drinking, and "clubbing" for the night. Good times.
Monday - 6/21 - crazy 8 hrs of Epic training on the computer. It's so boring and I'm not how much of it I'll remember. It got to a point where we are sending emails for side chats since there's no cell phone reception. Haha. Finally got to see out class.
Tues through Friday - our official anesthesiology orientation. We all sat around the conference table for 8 hrs a day, listening to lectures, having discussions and getting to know each other really well. And come on, yes, we are always around the "good" drugs all the time but really necessary for the 2 full days worth of talks and discussions on drug addiction. But I guess prevention is better than cleaning up after messes. These couple of days, we literally bonded and found our own little group to hang out with. Surprising stats is that only 3 gals in the American grad side and we are all single but there's only 4 single peeps total. So we all kind of hang out together mostly. Also there's like a DO group as well since there are 6 of us. But we are good group, will have lots of fun and do pretty well. Can't wait to see how we'll all do in the next 4 years as a family. On Friday, we finally met the rest of the IMGs that made up half of out class of 26. They are all married and if not, they don't tend to hang out with us American grad. Oh well. We'll all get to know each other soon enough when we start rotating.
Mon - Wed - BLS/ACLS - necessary but super boring and somewhat ridiculous as well. To think that we have to do this every 2 yrs. ugh. enough side about this. But definitely more bonding time and ever more distince cliques of IMGs and AMGs.
Oh boy, July 1st here we come whether we are ready or not!!
