The great aspect of having a small residency group is that we could all potentially get along and have a good time. I’m fortunate that this is the case. Everyone is willing to pitch in and help each other out.

One of my friends at a large ophthalmology residency program recently disproved the aforementioned statement, however; his relatively large class of 7 residents per year get along nicely as well.

What is true about a small residency is that no gossip goes unturned. For some reason everyone knows everything about the patients that roll into our clinic or ED. That’s the disturbing fact. How does this happen? Is everyone nosy?

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised that the chairman of my program has visited my website…that would be very interesting. I’d better only post constructive criticism from now on… ;=)
