After rereading my blog posts from my first two years of medical school, I discovered that there is a danger to writing about medicine early in one’s training. Much of what I wrote as a first year now seems mind-numbingly naïve. And yet, some of it reminded me of who I was before I set off down this path. It reminded me of all that I had gained and lost. I believe there is value in writing about medicine at any stage of training so long as the writing is tempered by an awareness of what remains unknown. I hope this page will collect my attempts to do just that as I explore my current interests in medical education and biomedical ethics.
