Now that my MD-PhD program is at long last drawing to a close – after nearly a decade – I’ve been thinking of creating a brief comic series to commemorate some memories and observations from this experience. What’s below started as just a character sketch test to figure out a quick and easy style to draw in, but I ended up deciding to annotate it a bit more. It’s hard to believe that you’re still the same person when you switch from being a PhD student to a medical student. Of course, maybe these observations aren’t as universally relatable as I think, and it’s just me because I’m a terrible student ………… ((profuse sweatdrops forming)). I’m in the process of categorizing comic ideas (in 4-panel format) into the various medical school clerkships, for a total of probably around a dozen.
