Today marks the end of my pathology rotation at UT Southwestern and Parkland in Dallas. This has been officially my first rotation of 4th year. 4th year is the holy grail of med school. no tests, everything is pass/fail, people start listening to what you say yet you are responsible for shit, you set up all your own rotations (yay! no peds!).
