Go Time

As many of you know Sean is Medical student at Des Moines University. He just started his 4th year -aka last year of med school (woo hoo!) With graduation just around the corner testing, exams, and more testing is imminent.  The second step to the COMLEX (medical boards) is just about here. Step one was taken after second year.

**Side note- Step one tested the medical students on the first two years…what they learned in the classroom. Step two is testing them on what they have learned being the field of medicine with the medical rotations they have been doing for the last year. It is made up of 2 eight-hour exams. The first is written and taken here. The second part is a practical taken in Philadelphia.**

 Sean is always and excellent study bee but these last few weeks he has had to be even more focused as he gears up for the big test.

Have you ever seen “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe”? Well, there is a part where the children in the movie find an armoire that leads to a different world when they get inside and exit out the back. Sometimes that is the best way to describe what happens to Sean when he enters the spare bedroom to study. He enters a world unknown to most of us.  

His dedication and stamina never ceases to amaze me.

Recently I have been getting glimpses into the world that has been surrounding Sean for the past few years. By quizzing him on the material he has studied over the day we get to spend a bit more time together as well as cement the material into his mind.

Now I already know he is brilliant but when it is quiz time and he brings in 5 or 6 six pages that look like this

And this

Front and back

 And he can recall and expound on all the information on every sheet my respect and adoration for him escalades.

Keep him in your thoughts as prepares this week. The exam is on the 18th. 

IT'S GO TIME!!
