 Wow! I cannot believe how fast time is flying. Here at SGU we have 5 terms of basic sciences before starting clinical rotations. I am currently in Term 4 (of 5). We are going to experience our first real patient encounters this term. I’m excited but also a little nervous. I’m sure as things progress it will continue to get better though.

Until next time! -Candace

It is imperative that you keep up with the reviews otherwise they stack up and then it becomes a mess.   I am getting ready to move to Grenada tomorrow to begin term 4 next week. I fit my whole life into 3 checked bags lol. I have TWO more semesters of basic sciences left before I take Step 1 (the first of 3 board exams that I have to take). I'm so thankful for this opportunity to...
