The first semester included HEENT, Hematology, Infectious Disease, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, and a bit of fun. Below are some photos from the first and quick semester.

Above: Post-class El Rancho Grande for some birthday celebrations when we barely knew each other. I remember walking over to the restaurant with Conor and its then that I found out he liked Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean. I thought, "this kid may be alright". Below: One of my favorite and most essential practices in PA school has been taking photo walks for breaks from studying. Here are some of my favorite images. Can you tell I loved the fall foliage?

A great (but fast) semester where the pictures don't do it justice.
