Man what a stressful past several months.  I know I haven't written about MEDEX much lately so here's a quick rundown.  MEDEX Northwest is a division od the University of Washington's school of Medicine for Physcians Assistants.  In November of 2005 I submitted my application for acceptance and then during the remainder of the year including much of January 2006, I awaited a call for an interview from the school.  There were approximately 500 applicants for around 80 or so slots total for 3 separate classes 3 separate locations in Washington.  This past Saturday I was one of about 42 applicants for the Spokane Class 10.  What a great day that was too.  I met so many interestingly qualified people like myself as well as faculty and preceptors.  It was an all day process that in the end I felt fairly good about.  We were told that they would make they're selections for about 20 applicants within about 2 weeks.  Well, yesterday, 4 days later, imagine my surprise when I check my voice mail messages on my cell from the Director of Admissions informing me of my acceptance.  What a great day!  I was and still am very excitedk, not to mention honored to be chosen.  I am really looking forward to starting my classes. 

 

Well, this is all for now.  I haven't blogged about much of anything for quite some time due to holiday and MEDEX selection stresses.  I have been devoting a lot of my time to my family to overcome it.  I also haven't travelled for work since before Christmas anticipating this interview, so I guess it's time to get back into my routine.  My next trip is scheduled for Feb 4th with an undertermined return date as for now.  I will return to Atka for 3 weeks then perhaps go to St. Paul for 2 to 3 weeks.  The latter is the undetermined part.  Well, thank you for reading and take care.
