Catching up, slowly...

So my last post was today but on things from Monday.  This week is a catch up week. All I have to do is continue to juggle my ongoing obligations and deflect new ones and I will be great!

This is me juggling all my obligations.  There was a time when I would make fun of K for being infatuated with cats...I don't know how much worse it can get than this.  This is all the cuteness in this post.  I promise. Keep reading 

Revisit Weekend: FABRIC and the aftermath!

 I am so glad FABRIC was a success.  I don't know if I told many non-Boston residents about it or my participation in the event.  FABRIC is a production celebrating the global influence of the African diaspora.  First year medical students have been putting on this production during admit revisit week for the last 10 years.  It is a showcase of the many talents our class posseses and a great lure for new admits.

Jump for more!

Care, Fabric, and Soul

Peace and blessings.  Thursday was kind of a dreaded day.  I had too much to do and too little time to do it all.  Some things fell by the wayside but I did everything I really wanted to do.

Above is a teaser + highlight, more after the jump...

It's late or should I say early? In any case, I was winding down from some exciting reading about polysomnography and EEGs. At the same time I was listening to the songstress, Jill Scott, when I came across this article about HMS suspending funding for the Primary Care Division.

My first thought was, "Dang, my friends in Cali were right". I'm going to be out here in Boston trying to hollerin' about wellness and prevention to an institution what totally doesn't want to hear it. After reading the article I felt hope. The author of the petition protesting the cuts is a MD/MBA candidate with the right idea. He is brought to light the need for HMS to lead in domestic primary care in addition to the work they do in global health, research and expanding general awesomeness. Highlighted was the need for outreach to medical students from day one to the time they are looking at residencies as well as working across disciplines to spur creativity and foster new leadership. I was thinking, "Hey that's just what I wanted get into when I get rolling".

I guess I didn't notice the wheels on my feet and the wind in my hair...I'm rolling already. This path with be a long one but I trust good times are to come.

Peace and love.
