Here We Go Again

It’s official. I have only 2-weeks of my intern year left. Starting July 1st, I will be a “PGY-2″ (fancy term meaning I’m in the second year of my residency).

I also have my official schedule, so I thought I would share it with the world (and especially my friends/family, since they keep asking!)

Your Smile

Here t’is:

July – Geriatric Psychiatry
August – State Psychiatric Hospital
September – Child Psychiatry
October – Child Psychiatry
November – Research
December – VA Hospital
January – Consult Liaison Psychiatry
February – Consult Liaison Psychiatry
March – Inpatient Psychiatry
April – Inpatient Psychiatry
May – Forensic Psychiatry
June – Emergency Psychiatry

Since I will be rotating at a bunch of new hospitals soon, I have had to fill out one BILLION (I am not exaggerating) forms. In fact, I still have a bunch more to complete by tomorrow, so this is me signing off.

Love,
Soon to Not be an Intern Anymore Kendra

    Hooray!!  So impressed by your ability to keep blogging through the intern year!  :)

    It’s got to be nice to be all-psychiatry from here on out.  (Or at least mostly?  Not entirely sure how it works, I’ll admit.)

      It’s basically acting as a psychiatry consultant (mostly inpatient), the same way an endocrinologist, cardiologist, etc.,  would. Determination of capacity is the most common request, but the variety of consults are quite varied. I’m actually very interested in this field, so I’m hoping to learn a lot and be inspired!

    Hi Kendra ..
    I hope you’re doing well :)
    I know you are SO BUSY .. but whenever you can spare few minutes, I would appreciate it if you could help me with this:

    You see, I’ve ended med-school and internship in my home country (Jordan), and am planning to do my residency in Jordan too ( Pedz!)

    However, I want to do the Fellowship in the US .
    Now, I know that I have to pass the 3 steps first.

    My question is: For FELLOWSHIP, do my scores have to be high to get into a decent program (for PEDIATRICS) or i just need to pass???!!!

    Thanx ..
    Wish you the best ..
