I was so excited to hear this that I had to share.

An SGU grad, after a year or two of research (I'm not sure), has earned a categorical position at UTSW as a Plastic Surgery Resident. This is arguably the best Plastics program in the country in medicine's most competitive field. I would throw a parade for this person if I could.

Keep plugging away, topher.

Wow, that's amazing! Do you have a link? Thanks for posting.

Great news

yeah who is it? that's pretty badars.

Congratulations to the grad who got the spot.

Stephew, of the people who are at Hopkins, how many did a transitional year or whatever it's called? Were any able to go directly from SGU into their Hopkins residencies?

I mean, like in addition to their time at SGU, did they have to do an additional year of research or before getting accepted to do residency at Hopkins?

I apologize if your response already answered that; I'm still a little unsure on the terminology of the post-med school stuff. The year between graduating med school and starting internship/residency is the translational year?
