Residency Graduation

In 5 years...we'll be going to see Jared finishing up his program.

Tonight we went to celebrate with Jared's co-residents that finished their program. Each of the graduating surgeons were introduced by an attending and then gave their thanks to classmates, doctors, parents, and spouses. Some were funny. Some emotional. It was a great night to mingle with everyone.


2 years ago Jared was interviewing for residency and we were making our rank list. Dr. Ferrara, now Jared's program director, was in contact with Jared. At that time he told Jared that getting a categorical position at the worst residency program was better than getting a preliminary position at the best residency program. I have to say that I disagree with him. Jared did a preliminary year at his top residency program, re-applied, and will go on to finish this program. It added one more year to his residency training, but was a "blessing in disguise" for our family. Jared's program director truly cares about each of his residents, the residents are close like family, the attending surgeons care about teaching/helping the residents gain quality training, and I have a happy husband. Did I mention I love living in Phoenix? :)


All dressed up and ready to go.

  3. We are very happy for you guys! What a blessing to be in a great program. And Jared is doing what he wants to do. I remember when Jared called Alan after he found out he didn't match. I talked w/ Jared for a little bit and thought he should do what he wants too.
    We will have to go vacationing in Arizona to see in the 5 years you'll be there.
