4th Semester Begins

Today is the start of my last basic science semester on Dominica!! After this semester I return state-side for the next 2 years of clinical rotations, which will round out 4 years of medical school.

This last semester will consist of clinical presentation and pathology of neuro, psych, endocrine, GI, renal and reproduction. We will cover this material in 10 weeks followed by a 3 week Falcon review course. At the end of the semester we take a comprehensive exam ("Comp" for short) so gauge where we are for the Step 1. The Comp is made from retired USMLE Step 1 questions so it should be good practice.

Anyway, I am looking forward to a fast paced semester but most importantly I am soooo close to getting off the Rock.
