My second week here is underway and I'm really enjoying everyone I'm meeting. I had a nice long discussion with one of the docs I'm doing research for today over coffee...it was a chat about the research project first, and then we just started chatting about general things like my old job, interest in medicine, prospects at getting into schools (nice to talk about this with someone who is in the field), and his work and other projects he's involved with.
That meeting was followed by two hours of researching in the library, followed by a lunch meeting with the two main docs I work for, followed by another meeting about my other main project with some data analysts and quality control folks. Lots to talk about! I'm excited to get down to business and start getting real data in place for analysis so we have some numbers to crunch and results to show.
I also met with an admissions officer briefly and spontaneously to talk about the application process, which was incredibly enlightening and helpful, and just in general set my mind at ease that I was hearing these things from a med school official (as opposed to freaking myself out reading studentdoc forums).
Last meeting of the day is in a few minutes to hammer out a way forward for one of the projects, and then I'll head home to exercise.
P.S. I'm still in love with working with little babies.
