Hey everyone, just saw the thread actually and was like uh oh could that be about me ??? haha. Thanks alot Azi, and everyone else for the good wishes. It was funny to go through ur debates and confusion over what's happening. Ok so here's the deal...
We are (as of yesterday) Doctors-in-training; however, we're not qualified doctors yet, we will be in 2012. In the first two years, we'll be going more in depth with the theory as well as starting with going to the hospital. In the last two years, we start clinical clerkships, in which we're in the hospital full time rotating between different departments so as to give us a taste of each. At the end of the third year, we're off to NY where we continue our clerkships and finally received the M.D. :D
BritExpat, medicine in the UK takes 5 years; however, in US schools, it's spilt into two-stages (pre-med:4 yrs, med: 4 yrs).
If anyone has any other questions I'd be glad to answer :)
Thanks again guys!
And yes QT, this hermit has been hiding for a while with all that's been happening :P
