One week down...

Well, here I am, survivor of the first week.



Already we tackled differential diagnosis of hemolytic vs. cholestatic jaundice, covered as much genetics in one week as in my summer entire biochemistry class, and learned all the points to cover in a new patient medical history.



The pace is brutal, but I'm managing to keep up, and no one really feels the pinch yet because our first exam isn't until August 27th.



I had my first CAMPOS (med school in Spanish) meeting, and we learned about the scheduled actvities for the year. We will meet just about every week to review Spanish medical vocabulary, issues of culture in caring for Latino patients, and eventually learning to conduct a full medical interview and exam in espanol.
