Roger update

A lot of you have asked how Roger is doing, so I thought I'd post it for you. In a word, Roger is busy. He has a little over 2 months left in his intern year. In this time he will take Step 3, the final test for the USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam). When he completes that, he will be a licenced doctor! He then will have 2 years left of residency. When he finishes that and the Family Medicine Boards, he will be a full fledged Family Medicine Doc! Then we owe three more years to the Army after that. After that, who knows.

His intern year has gone well. He was the first in his class to get a "Bragging" button from a patient. He was also the first to get a formal complaint! Both were given to him on the same day. He did well on his departmental exams, making the highest on the intern exam, and they have been happy with his progress in his rotations so far. He has seen hundreds of patients and delivered more than 30 babies. The most recent was his first clinic patient that he followed the entire pregnancy. He really enjoyed the experience saying delivering babies is probably one of the coolest things he gets to do.

As you can see, he has been really busy this year. But he really enjoys it. He works with many great people, including the 9 other interns in his class. And he is doing what he always wanted to do. I think he has adjusted really well to it. But he has a really good attitude about it, he's just happy to be here.
