Over the last few months, its been nice to see Baylor Med pervade many aspects of social media. Thanks to the hard-working members of the Office of Communications and Marketing, BCM is active on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, blogging, YouTube, and heck, we even live-tweeted our Match Day 2013 event!
Over the last few days, I’ve written my social security number and date of birth a lot. And I do mean a lot. Paperwork for badging, licensure, certification, occupational health, worker’s comp… *insert headache here.* But at least staying at the same medical school for residency has its perks –…
As a final gift from our Apex course, I’ve now been recertified in advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) and basic life support (BLS).
Four years after writing a post expressing my sentiments towards being accepted by my dream medical school, I’m writing a similar post about matching to my #1 choice for anesthesiology – Baylor College of Medicine.

After being separated as a class for many months, we’re finally reuniting (yes, even the people who prefer to stream lectures from home) for the next two weeks of Apex. I’ll be kicking off the course with classes in electrolytes/fluids, the business of medicine, informed consent/implicit bias, and managing adults…
In roughly one month, I’ll figure out where I’ll be spending the next four years of my life as a resident physician. My rank order list was submitted several weeks ago, and things will be “finalized” on February 20th, but until match, I’m just enjoying the perks of being a…
Every fourth year medical student (MS4) at Baylor Med is required to take Apex, a pass/fail course which provides a “unique, practical and interactive focus on solidifying students’ medical school experiences while developing and fine tuning skills that will help them enter their internship with confidence.” In continuation with our…
My very last tuition note has been paid!! Over the last four years, I’ve spent less than $80,000 on medical-school-related expenses: tuition, insurance, fees, supplies, contract parking, gas, wear-and-tear on the car, etc. Though I’ve saved a substantial amount of money by living at home with my parents, the hour…
