I got a letter in the mail this weekend letting me know that I was accepted to do an away rotation at OHSU this summer!! I’m still waiting on the UW to get back to me, but this acceptance boosts my spirits about being accepted at the UW too. At OHSU I got my first choice, Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, and I’m so excited to be able to do this!! I’ll be working with kids who have congenital and acquired endocrine problems – so common things like diabetes mellitus, slow growth, and early or late onset of puberty.. but there’s also the less common more exotic conditions like adrenal insufficiency, the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes, and maybe even inborn errors of metabolism (PKU, galactosemia, glycogen\/lysosomal storage diseases) – but those might be handled by the genetics department, we’ll see.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m excited to see my schedule working out well so far. Now I just have to figure out where to live for the month I’m down there… c’mon brasten, help a girl out – won’t you have a place in your beloved Portland by August? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
