First two crazy weeks


It has been nearly two weeks since the I started by HSM(Health Sector Management) boot camp, and the times have been crazy ever since. The first week of HSM camp was phenomenal. We had a series of esteemed speakers talking about various aspects of Health Care in US. For some one who was totally new to the system, it was interesting to learn the new system. Though, I felt at times, if I had some more time, I could do a bit of more readings for the day. On average we had around 6-8 articles to read per day. We covered topics from the Medicaid, Medicare , the new MMA act to ethics in medicine , trends in biotech.

After that week, we had the orientation week ( the current week). Full of fun, games and loads of information about the Career search, classes , clubs etc. We had a faboulous treasure hunt ( scavenger hunt) , which I thoroughly enjoyed. I dont remember, how many parties we have had since last 3 weeks. Several days it is a back to back parties. It is great fun..

However, I havent written some of the exemption exams so far, hence I need to get some time to study. Now there is only small window this weekend and next friday. So will try to make the best out of it.

The first week at Duke

As expected the first week was hectic and all the time spent in settling down. I bought my car, cell phone, opened new bank accounts, furnished the house etc. and then get ready for the HSM program which starts today evening.

Now, that I have my things at home in place, i hopefully wouldnt have to run around when the classes get in full swing from tommorow. I had opportunity to meet some wonderful people this week, though I couldnt spend a lot of time with them. I hope as we are closing in to our orientation ,I will have a chance to know more of my cool classmates.
