Weekend Recruitment Fun!

Now that the third interview weekend for this cycle of UW MSTP admissions is upon us, a set of seventeen(!) bright and eager recruits will be scurrying around campus today -- each with a current student to navigate for them, of course -- for a day of faculty interviews and later fun times with current UW MSTP students and staff. 

As always we hope everyone has a great time while they're in town. Weekend highlights will include meals around town with current students, a UW hockey game vs. Michigan or a performance by the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, a tour of a local brewery, and a much shorter tour of our hospital and HSLC facilities.

Looking forward to meeting everyone for a weekend of fun. Get excited!

UW MSTP! We'd offer you advice if we had any, but if you're preparing

for an interview with our program, why are you asking a blog?

Happy belated birthday Lisa!

Here's hoping you had a wonderful birthday skiing, ice climbing, snow-shoeing, flurry-racing, slush-pounding, and whatever other healthy, strenuous, bracing winter activities you enjoy while inadvertently making the Wisconsin MSTP blog feel lazy.

But in case you find yourself in need of a little inspiration as this winter drags on and on, the Wisconsin MSTP blog offers you this link.

Have an excellent year! 

Happy belated birthday Mazdak!

Hope you had a fantastic birthday while we were on break!

Here's hoping that the rest of your M2 year goes as well as can be expected.  As a belated birthday gift, we'd like to offer you this cake:

(It's a little premature, but we stand by our decision nonetheless.  :D) 

Happy belated birthday Anna H!

The UW MSTP blog may have been on hiatus for your birthday, but you were not forgotten.

As a late birthday present, here's a graphic representation of the study vs. the practice of gross anatomy:

Hope you enjoy the rest of your first year of medical school!  Only 7.5 or so more to go!
