Light at the end of the tunnel.

I survived another finals weeks. This one was not nearly as bad as the first semester. The exams went well and grades turned out great. The break was much needed. We went to Washington DC for a few days.

This was the first week of our last semester. We started three new units: Gynecology, Emergency Medicine, and Practice and the Health System. The Gynecology unit is two weeks long. As part of the unit we were taught, observed, and practiced a pelvic examination on volunteers. There is a very unique group in the area that is dedicated to instructing health care students the more delicate aspects of the physical exam. It is the same group which taught us the breast exam. It is a very unique opportunity.

The Practice and the Health System is unit dedicated to teaching the professional aspects of the PA profession. It will discuss important topics such as practicing, licensing, certification, legal issues, and health policy and insurance.

Can you believe your first year is almost over? I think this semester sounds interesting. No matter what you decide to specialize in, gyn. and ER can always be used.
