Just wanted to send an update!! I am now doing 4 weeks at Mayo in St. Cloud where I wil be starting in July. In my opinion I think when you are looking into programs, make sure you do an elective there before or even after you match. This way you can get used to the system and how things work. Believe me, not all programs run the same. I am glad I am here now, because by the looks of it, I am going to be OK!! I was a little scared about starting residency, but then I realized it is not so bad. I do not feel inferior to any of the residents here now, and I have actually done a lot more than a lot of these residents. When you do your rotations, do as many procedures and as many H&P's as you can. It will help in the long run. The good thing about the hospitals that we rotate in is that you get a lot of hands on, and you feel confident and proepared. Good luck!!
