Today we started our physical diagnosis class, where we learn basic restraint and physical exam skills for several species. The professor started the lecture by announcing that we had 762 days until we started clinics. This made some people in our class rather nervous, but I can’t wait. Clinics are the hands on / patient facing part of our education, where we actually get to start practicing medicine. I think it is going to be a lot of hard work, but such a rich experience. Clinics will last for 14 months, with us rotating 2-3 weeks in each area. Apparently some rotations are pretty normal hours inside and some are 14 hour days in a freezing cold barn, but you learn a lot everywhere.
On March 4, 2013 we, the class of 2014, will start clinics. I am already excited.
