SAK PASE!!
Hey ya'll! I'm sorry for the lack of posts these last few weeks. It's time to get serious so you're not going to hear from me as often this year. But I promise I will check in when I can and I will try to update you guys throughout the year. I finished my obgyn rotation and I passed that shelf exam about 4 and half weeks ish ago. I am now about two weeks away from being done with my psychiatry rotation. I am trying to focus on all the exams I have to take this year in addition to my rotations and shelves. These include the Kaplan CSPE that my school requires us to take as a graduation requirement so they can attest to our clinical skills, the comprehensive exam which we have to pass before our school clears us to take the Step 2 exam, the actual Step 2 CK exam and last but not least, the OET medicine exam that IMG's have to take to be eligible for the ECFMG certification which is required to match into residency. LOL, issa lot y'all. I promise i'll go into more details later on but right now yo girl has gots to focus!!
The main reason I'm writing this post though is to update y'all on the ERAS 2022 match timeline! They posted it on Thursday last week if I remember correctly. Residency applications are usually due on September 15th of every year but because of Covid 19, last year they postponed it to October 21st. This year, we were hoping that they would also extend the due date to October but they didn't. They did however give us 14 extra days and instead of applications being due on the 15th, they're due on September 29th this year!! So I'm still grateful!! You can see the timeline if you click HERE
I'll be done with my psych rotation next week then i'll be starting 12 whole weeks of surgery lol. That should be interesting. Pray for me. But the good news is it will be my last core rotation then ill be a 4th year med student and I can start my electives woot wooot!! HOW EXCITING !!!!
Time is literally flying but it's not over yet, there is still so much work to do and although I have been working HARD, I've also been freaking out DAILY. But the God that has brought be to where I am today will get me to where I need to be next March. I believe it wholeheartedly.
TTYL 💜
