I passed the USMLE Step 1 (United States Medical Licensing Board) Board Examination!

I found out this morning that I passed. The USMLE was one of the two board exams that I was waking up every morning at 5am in order to study for this spring/summer. I just have to hear that I passed the COMLEX (the other board exam I took), and I'll be able to rest easily.

Just think, pretty soon you will be able to "practice" on us ... that's what they call it right ... practice; first one 'studies' about doctoring, then one 'practices' (and get to 'charge' for it.
