buleessuc Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Just wondering if anyone is as worried/excited/freaked out as I am about the impending July 1st start.... I have my four new looooong lab coats. Extremely crisp out of the bag. Dr. B nicely labelled. So I have run them through the washing machine, going on the 7th time today. I just want them to be less new. I start on the pediatric wards. My first day on the wards is also my first call shift. At least I am not unfortunate enough to be on call on the long weekend, that would really suck. Hope that all goes well July 3rd and onward, fingers crossed.

Kirsteen Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hey there, Yep, it's going to be a bit different, isn't it?! Where are you starting? Did you program provide you with the four long coats? On this end, I begin relatively nicely with a month of Radiation Oncology and don't know yet if I'm to work on July 1st, so you're fortunate to not have to work until July 3rd. Best of luck when it rolls around. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buleessuc Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 A fella in my class matched to mac rads. I will be remaining here in Winnipeg. I am matched to community med and I will also be completing family med. Good luck with rad onc and I am sure that you won't be working the long weekend.

Hey there, Which class did you just graduate from? (We've received the e-mail contacts plus names of all the incoming Rads residents.) As for Rad Onc, I hope you're correct.

RuralDoc Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi, Yep, I am absolutely terrified of all the new responsibilities and expectations of being a resident! I have already been scheduled to teach med students about x ray interpretation during rural medicine week. (I talked my way out of IV starts!) I am in a small community, and apparently the hospital review board has been really excited about their "first brilliant incoming resident" (I am the first resident in a new community based practice). I have also seen the clinic where I will work. I have my own exam room fully equipped with a video camera to record my skills...which will then be sent in to my program directors! Unfortunately I am a bit rusty after a rather long 3 month vacation! Maybe once I see if I passed the LMCC, I will have a bit more confidence in myself.

buleessuc Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 You have got to be kidding..... That sounds like a terrific learning opportunity. I hope that your preceptors are good. I thought that the results for mcc were out mid-June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hey there, The results of the MCCQE were released today. I just received an e-mail prompt. Good luck to all those who're checking. Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CutieYellow Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I start in Peds ER - completely terrified Still don't have my schedule, dunno if i'm working on the long weekend (with my luck, i totally am). And btw, there's always a speck of doubt, or else I wouldn't be so nervous as i'm clicking to "exam results"! CY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noncestvrai Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Peds ER is chillax, and that was my first clerkship experience...so as a resident I don't know...I guess you just have to have your A/P crisp and be more on the flow/volume side... Good luck to you all, I would be completely terrified...with my luck, I'll be starting in ICU/transplant/cardiac in a 3ry care hospital and of course be on call the first day... I should be going to bed, I have an early ER shift soon... noncestvrai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
