The journey continues...

While our adventures in Dominica are shortly coming to an end, we are nowhere near done with our med school journey.  For these 16 months on the island Josh has been taking his basic science classes.  In January he will be starting his 5th semester, which is an introduction to clinical medicine (basically a preparation for his rotations), in....

Saginaw, Michigan.  Yep, from tropical paradise to Michigan winter.  What are we thinking?!  But we are excited to experience the whole gamut.  We actually had a couple choices and we have heard so many good things about the program there that we are really happy we got in.  5th semester is a little shorter and will end in April, then Josh will study for his first board exam and take it probably in early June, we will have a little time off in the summer while he waits for his scores and then he'll start clinical rotations at the end of the summer.  Oh yeah, and we'll have a baby somewhere in there too :).  So we'll be in Saginaw until at least August, and maybe another year or two after that if he does his rotations there.  Then will come graduation and a residency.  It seems like a crazy life at times but we feel lucky to be experiencing so many things and can't wait to see what this next step will bring!
