My name is Allison and I'm a mom as well as a fourth year medical student. I have two boys - Will and Henry, 3.5 yo and 1.5 yo respectively. Will was born when we lived up in Boston and came on the scene before medical school. Henry arrived between second and third year of school. (In fact my anatomy partner and I were pregnant together at the same time! How fun! Hopefully she'll write in later). My husband is Ian - he's a software engineer working for a small start-up in the Atlanta area. As much as I love working with people, he loves working with computers - although he can communicate with the human-kind just fine.
I've decided to apply to a residency in pediatrics - I'm excited! Who wouldn't be excited to work with runny-nosed germ machines, I mean really? But seriously, I do like kids (good thing since Will and Henry are showing no signs of being ready to move out any time soon) and I really like families - so I think pediatrics will be a good fit. Also, kids keep it real - and I like that too.
Currently I'm in the throws of personal statement agony. I will not bore you with the details, that's for the residency committees, but man, writing is tough. I know I'm not a natural born writer/blogger - there will be a learning curve with these posts, so bear with me.
I'll keep it short for post one - gotta build up some suspense so you'll want to find out more ;) Looking forward to it,
-A
