Residency Interviews

For my first blog post I have decided to talk about my path to residency. I am going into Obstetrics and Gynecology and I have done 12 interviews across the country from South Carolina to Seattle. Dan was able to join me on several of my interviews and he even got to take a picture at the big house!

Creighton- Omaha
University of Missouri- Kansas City
St. Vincent's- Indianapolis, IN
St. Joseph's- Ann Arbor, MI

University of Iowa- Iowa City
University of Washington- Seattle
Medical College of Wisconsin- Milwaukee

I spent a month doing a Gynecologic Oncology rotation at the University of Minnesota where I was able to stay with my good friend from high school Kelly! I had a great time and worked hard.
I then spent a month in Indianapolis doing Urogynecology and Maternal Fetal Medicine.
Finally, I just finished up a month in Seattle doing Maternal Fetal Medicine (high risk OB). Dan came out there with me for the month (actually he drove all the way there). It was so great to be together for a month and be able to experience the city. We stayed with an 81 year old lady who was great to talk with. Her and Dan actually became quite the buddies.
Now we are on our way home. We drove 12hrs to Bozeman where we spent a day snowboarding at Big Sky. This was my first Montana visit and I loved it! The picture below is from our drive through Montana.
Now we are able to spend a few days home with my family in Rapid City. We will drive back to Des Moines on Tuesday and pick up our Franklin at Dan's parents! We can't wait to get home!

I will blog later as to the process of the residency match since it a very confusing process. Match day is March 12th.....then I will find out where on March 16th!
