Third Year...

...has officially begun.

Josh headed off this morning bright and early to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center where he is starting his 12 week Internal Medicine rotation. 

He looked very Doctor-like in his tie, short white coat (not to be confused with a long white coat, those are for MD's, not students), and stethoscope.

I can't help but feel so proud of him.  He's come so far and I know that third year will present it's own new challenges, but I also know he's plenty capable of handling anything that's thrown at him.  In fact, he welcomes the challenges and he's excited about them.

It's the first day of school for many, including our nephew Caleb who starts Kindergarten today.  And for us, it's the first day of a new chapter in this journey of medical school.

Looking Spiffy!
