"They probably had good reasons…"
"Most likely they thought that…"

The Start of Something New

The beginning of a school year brings milestones in our lives. For some, it is the first step into the path to become a doctor; for others, it is the beginning of clinical clerkship; for some, it is the first test of balancing parenthood with academia.... for everyone, the beginning of a school year marks one step closer to that M.D.
