Residency Recollections

Many fond memories of my time at St. Paul-Ramsey and Hennepin county medical center.  I particularly enjoyed Drs. Ramirex, Anderson, Cranford and Gates.

 

Looking back, would you do it again?  What would you change? Yes, I definitely would do it again.  This seems to be my raison d etre.  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? 

 

I’m doing very little now that was routine in residency, so residents now should be ready for OJT.
