Some full circle moments in my medical teaching and mentoring. Tanner started his first clinical rotation in 3rd year with me. Now finishing up his last two months of med school, ambulatory medicine rotation, moving onto his first choice for a residency in Emergency Medicine at Baycare in Tampa. Proud of him!
Christian, some of you know who this young man is. He has been one of my best medical assistants. I took him on as grad student at USF, trained from the start. Now he is finishing up his first year of medical school at UCF. So proud of him!
Doctorβs Day was on March 30th - the calling to be a physician is a total commitment. The average medical student has 3000 to 4000 hours of clinical training by graduation. And 12000 to 15000 hours in residency. Training matters, give your doc a word of thanks when you see them next ππ.
