The more I think about it, the more I can imagine myself at a program like this. There is so much opportunity to really do everything. There’s no competing with residents from other specialties to be involved in various activities whether it be trauma, surgery, ICU, etc. On the other hand, this program is in a unique area. If I want my practice to reflect this full spectrum training, I may end up needing to either stay or go somewhere more rural. Which may not necessarily be a bad thing, it’s just something I will need to consider for myself.
What I do know, is that if I did train here I would be more prepared than at any other program to just be dropped in a random area and be able to practice medicine (if that sentence makes sense). And this idea of being prepared for anything is something that has always been a part of my philosophy in life.
But yea the theme of the day was really imagining a future in which I was a resident here, and surprising to myself I kinda liked what I saw.
