Where to start »

Go West, young woman

March 28, 2014 by principleintopractice

I am no longer Schrödinger’s resident…

 

A week ago today the verdict arrived.  I am Utah bound to pursue residency training in Family Medicine.

 

I am thrilled.

 

I fell in love with Utah when I travelled there for a wilderness medicine elective last spring.  With scenery like this, can you blame me?

Moab- More than expected

 

That wasn’t my first trip to Utah, as I had previously visited Salt Lake City for the first Physicians and Ancestral Health symposium.  Knowing some ancestrally/evolutionary-minded physicians in Utah and at the institution I am heading to definitely played a role in my ultimate decision to make Utah my top choice for residency.  Add in excellent clinical and academic opportunities, on top of happy and interesting faculty and residents, and I know I’ve made the right choice.

 

I’m really looking forward to this exciting new chapter in my life, though not before I get in a couple more months of travel and adventure! (I head back to Ecuador on Tuesday!)

 

Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey has been on my "to read" pile since my time in Canyonlands last spring. It has now been bumped to the top of the list.

    Congratulations!! I know you will love living in the (wild) west. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that there is lots to do just in Utah for the outdoor enthusiast, but the abundance of National Parks and Monuments are quite a draw, too. Oh yeah, that little thing called “residency”! Good luck!! Have fun!

      Thank you! There are so many national parks to visit, it’s hard to know which to visit first! (I hope to get in a bit of outdoor time when I first move out there before I have to really buckle down for residency.). All my top picks for residency were places where I could use whatever (limited) free time I have in beautiful natural places.

    Carla from CFNH here. Congratulations! I love your blogs and learn so much from your experiences. Best of luck in Utah and your residency.

      Thank you! I’d love to make it back up to NH before I head west. If I do, I’ll make sure to drop in!

    Greetings from St George, Utah. Utah is a great school to go to. They are doing a number of innovative things.

      Thank you! I’m really excited to be continuing my training there, and to be moving to Utah!
