Medical College of Georgia

Now its time to get really really caught up. :) We are well on our way into Interview Season as we prepare for Aaron's next phase of his medical career: a Surgical Residency! The first interview was here at MCG on Nov 22nd, and despite it being a very serious contender as we decide our preferences of where we would like to go, it was nice to ease into these interviews at an institute that we are already familiar with. It certainly takes some of the pressure off when you already know your way around the campus, you already know the surgeons that are doing the interviewing, etc.

The night before Interview-Day, we met with the residents, attendings, and their spouses at the Partridge Inn (literally a block away from our house) for a meet-and-greet dinner. It was so much fun to meet the people that Aaron had worked with during the last couple of years of medical school and talk to the spouses about what life is like being married to a surgeon. I loved it! There were about 15 other interviewees in attendance, most of which had never been to Augusta, and Aaron and I were able to talk a lot about how much we have enjoyed living here. :)

My incredible soon-to-be-surgeon off to his interview at MCG!

The day of, Aaron interviewed with 4 attendings, ate lunch with the residents, and skipped the tour of the hospital (a building that I am sure he by now knows like the back of his hand). He came home completely encouraged by the supportive things that they had to say during his interviews! MCG has set the bar to compare all other interviews to as we begin to make some important decisions!

More to come as we continue interviewing at other places!

Love,

Anna
