After 4 intense days of planning Medicine X 2015, I’m ready to get back to…whatever it is I call ‘normal’.

While the process was at times grueling, it was certainly rewarding. At the end of the last day each of the advisors wrote a word to represent what we meant to each other on a post-it note. The picture above is my collection of words. I was secretly hoping for ‘diet coke’ to be on all of them, but I appreciate the feedback I received.

I’ve never been part of something like this, where my input was so integral to everything that happened, and will happen. There’s a lot of work to be done before the conference next year, but I truly believe we’re on the right path.

As usual, you can expect plenty more on Medicine X as plans develop. And here’s a cat picture, because I feel like I haven’t shared one on here in ages.
