This time around, I'm not skimping on asking advice. I'm calling friends and residents at programs around the country. I even asked (gulp!) some very... um... prominent people for advice - and got a reply!
I can see myself being very bold now, in a way I did not have the knowledge or confidence to do as a first year MD/PhD. I think what I envisioned then, I have enough of a foundation to pull off now. I know some people, a little bit of knowledge, a lot of mental connections.
It is strange to feel that my classmates and I are starting to become the physician-scientists we dreamed of being all these years ago. We really are.
But next... becoming a physician. I think this will be the hardest part.
