fall.2009.

Though it's only april, we're already interviewing for our fall internship placements. I was matched with tufts floating in the operating room, as well as newton wellesley in the emergency department. I had both interviews today- one at noon and the other at 8:30pm, and they both went very well. I was initially fixated on working in an OR, but have come around to the idea of the ED. After seeing both locations and meeting both child life specialists, i think that the ED would be the best fit for me. This is in part because of the hours (never before 10am as opposed to 6:45am three days/week), in part because of the location (driving 15 mins to newton instead of taking the T 45mins to chinatown), and in part because of the medical focus (more broad procedural stuff that will supplement my inpatient and radiology experience). That being said, i'll have a fantastic experience in either place. Though the supervisory style may be very different, they are both great child life specialists who will provide a great internship placement. I'll let you know once i get the final word, though that probably won't be until may:)
