It has been HOT and it went extremely FAST.... I'm talking about the temperature outside and the time going by this summer...
It has been a very fast paced summer for all of the students in the PA program (as well as the faculty, but we don't worry about them so much :-), haha).
The first year students (now second years) finished the summer semester and went on vacation. The second year students (that's me and my classmates - now happily called, 3rd years) have finished rotations 4 and 5 and are over half way through rotation 6. And the new class (now the first years ..I think you're getting the point) has finished orientation and are well underway taking first semester classes.
Most of the now "second years" enjoyed their 2 week vacation from PA school by going to visit family and friends outside of Winchester as well as going on various trips/vacations.
This would be Second year PA student Ricky (on right) at a Phish concert:
Some of the now "third years" got engaged!
Taylor and her fiance Adam:
Jessica and her fiance Shea:
Some third years decided to join in the political debates and headed to DC for rallies...(I didn't say I agreed..just sharing)
Megan (far right in the picture, haha) and some friends in DC being all political:
And here is an update on Mike (third year) and his new addition...
The picture speaks for itself:
Maybe next time I will have some pictures of the new class.
So the third years are about to have a 1 week vacation before the start of the "home stretch" to graduation which is on December 11 (and yes, we are counting). Before graduation, we have to finish our scholarly projects (fancy term for research paper); do some community work; and head out for 10 weeks of primary care ...and then we begin the process of taking the board exam and getting our license!
The second years are into their final fall semester before clinical rotations begin (and yes, they are all excited to be out of the classroom)
And the first years ..are just getting started.
I'll be back with pictures after our vacation time in a few weeks!
Enjoy.
