The week after the UT Knoxville interview, Aaron had the opportunity to travel to Macon, GA for an interview with Mercer University (Medical Center of Central Georgia). He was even able to make a pit-stop in Douglasville the day before to visit with his mom and grandparents!
Aaron enjoyed his time in Macon. The meet-and-greet dinner with the residents was held at a resident's house with food catered by one of the best restaurants in the city. Aaron felt like this dinner, especially since it was at someone's home, was a great reflection on what living in Macon would be like. The next day, just like with the other interviews trips, Aaron participated in a thorough round of interviews with members of the surgery department.
Here are some PROs for Mercer University:
Approximately 1.5 hours from our immediate family (and plenty of extended family in Macon!)
Cost of living is affordable
Mercer University has a MPH degree if I decided to go back to school
The residents seem like they have a real comradery with each other
There are many other PROs, and hopefully Aaron will fill me in on some more later.
Until next time!
Love,
Anna
87 days until MATCH DAY!
