Breaking into the 'Old Boys Club'

Medicine has traditionally been a profession full of old white men. Even though the way has been well-paved by women before me, training to be a doctor can still be very challenging. Here are the stories of my trials and tribulations...

Let me introduce myself...

I've kept a written journal for years, but I've decided this is a better way to share my world with friends and family...and whoever else is nosy, I suppose. For those of you who don't know, I'm a Canadian female 3rd year medical student in my late 20's. I'm a 'small town girl' at heart but have lived in the 'big city' for more than 10 years so I have both perspectives. I am single, without children or pets, and live in an apartment with me, myself, and I.

I've started this blog for a few reasons:1) Keep friends and family up to date on the goings-on in my life. I am extremely busy and don't much like talking on the phone (Guess I did too much when I was a teen!)
2) An outlet. Gotta let these emotions out somehow...when I get angry or frustrated, I like to rant. Should be entertaining for you!
3) Keep a journal. So I can remember what the hell I did.
4) So I can be part of the 'cool kids' crowd...seems everyone is blogging these days!

Hope you enjoy!
