It’s been 3 years since I started this blog and it’s quite amazing to see how this blog has grown since I started medical school. I’m surpised how much I’ve changed after reading some of my first posts.

Thank you to all my readers - wouldn’t have gotten this far without your support and visits.

Since 3 years ago, this site has grown steadily. It now receives hundreds of visitors a day from all over the world. In the meantime, I’ve managed to make this website self-sustainable with some advertisements and referral programs. I’ve received hundreds of emails too, from lots of questions about medical school to seeking out advice about admissions to even some success stories! Keep them coming!

The Road Ahead – I intend to keep this blog going as far as I can. I don’t know how the pressures of residency will affect it though. Somethings to look ahead to are:

• New Format – I’m in the process of finding a new wordpress theme. One that better organizes all the posts and information and makes it easy on the eyes. Will try to get it done soon. Might even end up purchasing a professional one.
• More Posts – I think I might go back and write some general posts about high school advice, undergraduate studies and less so on admissions. Furthermore, more focus will be geared towards medical school and the Carms process. Admissions is just one part on the journey of a medical career, so I think it’s only sensible to write about other parts too.
• Organizing Content - There are 172 posts at this time of writing. Some posts are more important that others. Trying to group them all in categories and tags that make sense will hopefully make things more intuitive to find.
• Links - there are lots of great resources/other blogs out there, but I haven’t done a good job promoting them. Along with organizing all the content, managing incoming and outgoing links will hopefully make finding great content elsewhere easier.
• Grand Rounds – I’ll try to host one soon… by the end of this year…hopefully. It’s a bit of a daunting task, but I’ll give it a go when I have some time.
• The 3rd year shortlist – I will go over my thoughts on what I will be applying to this Carms cycle, my top and bottom picks for specialties, and some comments on my rotations this year.
