-The last sixteen months were like high school. There were four semesters: the first you feel like a noob and make lots of mistakes; the second you wisen up a bit and still have some motivation; the third you get the confidence of being in one of the senior classes, but lose the drive that you had before; the fourth and final semester is exhausting and you do everything you can to just get out and move on.
-The next four months are like a summer between high school and university, if you needed to take that time and study for the SATs. That's the time we'll be in Michigan, as she prepares for the most important exam of her life, the USMLE.
-The twenty or so months after that are comparable to university, where you get greater freedom to direct your education, and it's theoretically much more fun. Denise will be getting hands-on experience here, learning what kind of medicine she actually enjoys.
This next stage in Denise's education is far less clear-cut than the year and four months we spent in Dominica. There is a wide variety of places and timelines she can follow. I hope to put as detailed a schedule up in the coming days, to provide some clarity about where we might be, when.
