3rd Semester

Others students have said that 3^rd semester would be the semester that it starts to feel more medically related and how one would expect medical school to be.  This was not the case initially, but in these past few weeks I have found that sentiment to be somewhat true. For me it has been because of the greater emphasis on our patient interviews and a focus on identifying the underlying signs, symptoms, and treatments used to address a certain disease.  As opposed to the first couple of semesters, when we were more focused on the normal physiological functions of the body, not pathology.  I find myself becoming more excited about beginning rotations later in the (not-so) distant future.
