Up to 14 invitations after this week. Still nothing from my top three.
7 interviews are confirmed, plus I'll set up two more on Monday for the programs in my hometown (more to appease my parents than anything else - I'm on a vacation month in January so it doesn't really matter much).
Hopefully next week pulls in some of the ones I really want to hear from.
In scheduling news, I thinking that I might alter my M4 TA month - April - and change it to an general peds private practice. My peds clerkship (which my school has since revised) included a week of private practice, and I had a great time with the docs out there. One of them had been a pediatrician in town since the early 1960's! He's now even taking care of grandchildren of some his first patients! That one week taught me an enormous amount (and I know now that I wasn't even that good at the time - it was my 9th week of third year). I'm still weighing the options and probably will decide in January. It wouldn't be a very taxing month, and I'm sure those docs out there would be understanding of it being the last month of med school and all, but it would provide some extra exposure in preparation for being an intern.
PrincessDad - do you have any thoughts? I know you said earlier about trying things that I wouldn't otherwise be exposed to, which this is pretty much doing the opposite, but I'd like to know what you think.
