It’s the middle of August and it’s that time of year – fall practices. Vermont starts their practices this week and New York starts next Monday. If you are a fall athlete and you did not do some conditioning over the summer, good luck with that.

Becoming a physician requires commitment. Commitment to hard work, study , becoming a lifelong learner. Commitment to do no harm, to place the needs of others as the highest priority. The opportunities to use a medical degree are as limitless as ones imagination.  There are the obvious choices of office or hospital practice.  There are small towns, big cities, academic opportunities to teach or do research. There are executive opportunities such as I have pursued, to make changes in the system to improve care for larger groups of patients than can be affected one at a time.
