Last week marked the start of my interview season for residency in Ophthalmology. The trip to Baltimore was a nice way to start things off, as I got to see some familiar faces. Overall, the experience was pretty laid back, though I am sure that I’ll be exhausted by the end of December. Right now, I have 15 interviews lined up for the next few weeks, distributed across the country in places like NYC, Philadelphia, Miami, Iowa City, LA, and San Francisco. Next week, I’ll also head down to Philly for the “skills” portion of my Step II board exam. Fortunately, my rotation in ambulatory medicine has been pretty benign, and we were even able to catch a performance of La Sylphide by the Boston Ballet last Saturday. The choreography was nicely done, though we did have to miss game 3 of the World Series for it. Luckily, our team did not let us down – victory is ours!
