In Part 2 of our medical school years series, we continue our conversation on the last two years of medical school. We discuss clinical rotations, figuring out what rotations we liked and what we did not like and how that informed our career choices. There are challenges, scheduling issues, grading concerns, and rounds (yeah we did not like rounds....but it is not that simple). Deciding on what specialty can be daunting. Hopefully, by the end of this episode, you will get a sense of what one needs to consider in making this decision. You are not alone.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
