for the 8th pick I choose Obstetrics and Gynecology at Mercy Coon Rapids in Period 6 of my fourth year. My schedule has been updated.
For my 7th pick, I registered for the Primary Care Clerkship in periods S3 and F1 of my fourth year. First I do 4 weeks of Family Practice, then I do 4 weeks of Internal Medicine. My schedule has been updated.
The testing center in Woodbury that administers the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam) Step 1 is closing, so I had to re-schedule my exam. I'm now taking it on May 26, 2005 (same date as before) in Rochester.
For my sixth draft I choose Med II (Internal Medicine Sub-Internship) at the VA Medical Center for Period 1 of my fourth year. My schedule is now updated.

For my fifth pick, I choose Psychiatry in period 8 at HCMC. Supposedly this is THE place to do psych if you have an interest in the field.
So far my schedule looks like this:
6 weeks at St. Paul Kids (May 30-July 10)
2 weeks off (July 11-25)
4 weeks of Ortho Surg in Duluth (July 25-Aug Aug 21)
[many many weeks that are unscheduled]
6 weeks of Med I at Abbott Northwestern (Jan 2-Feb 12)
6 weeks of Surgery at Methodist (Feb 13-March 26)
6 weeks of Psychiatry at HCMC (March 27-May 7)
As promised by the tech people, the server was back alive and working well at 7 am this morning (well, it was more like 07:14:04, but who was counting?). I traded my orthosurg spot for a period 1 Peds spot at St. Paul Children's Hospital, and then at 8 am drafted back my period S3 Orthopedic Surgery spot in Duluth. Crazy, crazy 16 hours.
So far my schedule looks like this:
6 weeks at St. Paul Kids (May 30-July 10)
2 weeks off (July 11-25)
4 weeks of Ortho Surg in Duluth (July 25-Aug Aug 21)
[many many weeks that are unscheduled]
6 weeks of Med I at Abbott Northwestern (Jan 2-Feb 12)
6 weeks of Surgery at Methodist (Feb 13-March 26)
It's only draft round #3 (out of 14!) and I'm already sick of this. Today I registered for Orthopedic Surgery in Duluth in period S3 (July 25-August 21). Then after that I think I broke the system. What did my Dad say..."I could break a brick." Hopefully it will be back up and running in time for my fourth round pick at 8 am tomorrow.
In my second draft choice, I selected Surgery at Methodist Hospital for period 7 (February 13-March 20).
Today I made my first draft for my MS3-4 years. I snagged Med I at Abbott Northwestern in Period 6 (Jan 2-Feb 6). I'm very happy about this. With me on this rotation (assuming nobody switches) are my friends Greg and Niti.
It's not basketball, but it does resemble the draft.
