I am no longer Schrödinger’s resident…
A week ago today the verdict arrived. I am Utah bound to pursue residency training in Family Medicine.
I am thrilled.
I fell in love with Utah when I travelled there for a wilderness medicine elective last spring. With scenery like this, can you blame me?
That wasn’t my first trip to Utah, as I had previously visited Salt Lake City for the first Physicians and Ancestral Health symposium. Knowing some ancestrally/evolutionary-minded physicians in Utah and at the institution I am heading to definitely played a role in my ultimate decision to make Utah my top choice for residency. Add in excellent clinical and academic opportunities, on top of happy and interesting faculty and residents, and I know I’ve made the right choice.
I’m really looking forward to this exciting new chapter in my life, though not before I get in a couple more months of travel and adventure! (I head back to Ecuador on Tuesday!)
Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey has been on my “to read” pile since my time in Canyonlands last spring. It has now been bumped to the top of the list.
