IM was quite a ride. My school had me at 2 different hospitals with 2 completly different systems. I thoroughly enjoyed the program through our main teaching hospital, but the second month through the military hospital was very hectic. The military hospital was not very supportive in my opinion. I got the distinct feeling that some physicians were only working there to "pay-back" the government. The best teaching physicians seemed to be non-military. While my team was better than most, a fellow med student was put on a team that would never inform her of when rounding would begin or even where it would begin. Very hectic.
I thought our main teaching hospital did a GREAT job in IM though. One of my faculty members I would consider a complete genius, and I would gladly work with him again.
IM residents work very hard here. I definitely give them 2 thumbs up for enduring such a rigorous program. After these two months, I have definitely learned to appreciate the field, but I can't see myself in Internal Medicine.

I enjoyed reading your blog. Its always nice to get into the mind of a med student, since my husband will be going to medical school next year. He is actually interviewing at el paso in the morning. I was just doing some research on the school myself, found a forum, and saw your blog and-voila, that's how I found you. hope you don't think its weird. =)
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to write. Have you read the book blue collar, blue scrubs?
