Perches in the Soul

so long and thanks for all the fish…

Published by Amy under Disability Stuff,Medical School on October 12, 2009

8 years of academic work.

7 days a week. 24 hours a day for most of that eight years (minus college summers)…

Speaking of summer..4 summers of medical volunteer work in the developing world

10-12 academic honor societies and two or three service ones. And one for professionalism and humanism in medicine.

88 page honor thesis.

45 different papers reviewed for a medical publication…that I first authored…

7 medical mission trips.

countless hours. countless cups of chai tea. countless effort.

and do you know how  my esteemed alma mater of 8 years summarized  my work in my Deans’ letter (hugely important document that is sent to all residency programs)

She excels in academics all the while overcoming challenging physical limitations.
