Just wanted to let everyone know that yesterday, I successfully defended my PhD thesis – so I guess that makes me a Doctor now!

After spending close to the last 4 years doing research in Medical Science, I handed in my thesis 4 weeks ago and then prepared for the oral defence yesterday – hence the lack of posting here lately. After a 2 hour oral defence, I was congratulated for having fulfilled the requirements of the PhD portion of my degree. I start medical school in August for the second part of the combined MD/PhD program I’m enrolled in which is another 3 years to go before I officially convocate and receive the combined degree.

Thanks to everyone for the support over the years and helping me reach this milestone!
