Graduation!

It finally happened: graduation from PA school. I went from Katherine Swan, PA-Student, to Katherine Swan, MPAS, PA! I no longer have to introduce myself as a student. While I don't feel much different than I did a month ago, when I still WAS a student, apparently something IS. I won't officially have any privileges until I take my certification exam (the PANCE, pronounced like pants), and then, I'll legally be able to practice medicine.

I had a lovely celebration, seeing former teachers, mentors, friends, and family, and relishing the fact that I'll never have to wear the ridiculous academic regalia ever again!

Now, to enjoy this week, before I start my last make-up rotation for the month of June. But, it's ObGyn, which I'm incredibly excited about. No better way to spend my last rotation than in my favorite specialty in medicine, and the one I'm hoping to spend my career practicing in.
