I embark upon my journey toward physician-hood with excitement and enthusiasm. This has been my dream as long as I can remember, and it is finally (FINALLY!) coming true. I can see myself now - shining in my white coat, smelling like embalming fluid after anatomy lab, passing the boards (God willing) and eventually finding a specialty that stirs my passion to which I will devote my life.
But mere weeks from beginning medical school, another set of emotions has set in, and I have begun to wonder about this path I have chosen. What am I doing really? Anxiety about the unknown has not caused my eagerness to wane, but it is certainly playing its part in my smorgasbord of thoughts as my dream career rapidly transforms into reality.
This blog hopes to chronicle my adventures and evolving perspectives as I attempt to discover what being a doctor really means. It also hopes to introduce issues and dilemmas faced by medical students and the medical field as a whole (please comment on future posts!). And, as the title implies, this blog celebrates daily learning, which we inevitably do and which is our very hope for progress - in medicine and beyond.

yay for arti's first blog entry!!!
i look forward to new entries everyday =)
i'm so proud of you! can't wait to read about your journeys!
I'll be watching,Arti. This blog could be the foundation for a book equal to Scott Turrow's "1L" book about the first year of law school. It's now must reading for law students. Yours could be for med students.
