Residency Recollections

 

We are interested in anecdotes and experiences from your residency years.  Include interactions among fellow residents and teaching staff. 

 

Classic advise from Joe Resch about how to have Dr. Baker be open to a new idea—“always make it sound that it is his idea”  

 

Looking back, would you do it again?  What would you change? 

 

Never any regrets.  I wouldn’t change a thing.

 

Additional Thoughts

 

Share your thoughts regarding the changes in medicine since your residency.  In your opinion, is Neurology positioned well for the future? 

 

A three day symposium might just scratch the surface of this question.  This is a new age and one best have new ideas.  How do we have MDs and patients think about illnesses that they will have in 10 years but are without symptoms today?
