Yes I actually contribute!

I just got back from New Orleans and it was a good program, but Las Vegas is still number 1!!! I However, it was really exciting to interview at a program that has a fellowship in neonatology. Consequently we could be there for all 6 years of training that I have left. The downfall was we don't quite fit in as well with the residents there as we did in Vegas.

So to give a little more detail on the match process cause everyone is always asking. We rank the programs we like and the programs rank us. We can rank programs together as a couple or individually. Obviously we will rank them as a couple if we have both interviewed there. This way we make sure we end up at the same place. So the way the rank actually works is in our favor. That way a program only has to rank us in there available slots (# of residents they allow each year).

Well, I wish there was more going on in our lives than interviewing and stuff. Christmas is coming up and we are really excited. We are going back to AR for a week. However, on our way down, we are stopping in Des Moines for another interview. Well, hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year. We'll let y'all know more about the programs as we find out.

Congratulations on your first post! I'm glad you were able to interview there and am praying that you and Tamra both get into the Las Vegas residency.

Hope to see you all sometime during Christmas!
