A beginning

I'm a first year student at a medical school in the Midwest. (I can use the present tense now? This thought is sinking in daily.) Medical school already has my life even though classes don't start until next Monday. It's only orientation week. We have events all day and no homework. When classes start, we have class all day and then go home to study all night.

Before this, I received dual degrees in Human Biology and Comparative Cultures and Politics, where I met the co-authors of this blog. Outside academics, I was extensively involved in the campus feminist organization and Students for Choice.

During my undergrad years, I developed a few interests that I hope to integrate into my career and personal life: healthy policy, health disparities, women in healthcare, public health, and women's health.

It's been a week of introductions among first-year students, reciting the names of our undergraduate degrees. I don't want to repeat too much here. I'm anxious to get started in school and on this blog.
