Family Medicine Community Based Clinical...
We were all given the opportunity to choose a site to have our Community Based Clinical Mentoring, CCM for short, experience.  This is basically like LCE at most schools (Longitudinal Care Experience), except enhanced. #1 We don’t just shadow, these preceptors weren’t just asked to have students follow them for 1/2 a day every week, they committed to giving us a real learning...

Circling the drain, by Emma
I need to start this by giving a huge shout out to my amazing friend Megan who saved my life last week. Good practice for someone who will spend the rest of her career saving others. You are amazing and I am so grateful that it was you and not I driving that car. To summarize, meg was driving me to the airport after our third neuro exam to start off thanksgiving break.

"We ARE..." by, Emma
Disgusted. Ashamed. Hurt.  I usually don’t do this but I just cannot keep my mouth shut any longer. I am a graduate of Penn State University and, as I’m sure many of you know, the university is involved in a horrific scandal involving sexual abuse of children. I’m not going into any details because 1) I think it’s grotesque and distasteful to do so and 2) you all have a...
