Completion & Thanks

Wow. Where has the time gone? It feels as though I just began my journey through graduate school and now there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel. I have 173 days until graduation as of today.

Earlier today I completed my oncology residency in the breast oncology clinic here at Duke. I have had nothing, but an incredible experience with my preceptor, Lynn. When I began graduate school, I wanted to eventually end up working in breast oncology and this semester's experience has reinforced that. However, I also still love inpatient land and GI oncology. So, I guess wherever the next few months leads me, that's what direction I will take for however long.

I am still in disbelief that I am nearly done with school. There are moments when I feel like I may be able to take on this new role and tranformation, but then there are those feelings of inadequacy where I do not feel as though I am ready for the task of "the one." Well, whichever the road of life may take me, I know it will be an interesting one. I can without a doubt say that I am grateful for each experience I have had thus far during this journey.
