The Journey Ahead

Interested in meeting some Christian medical (or dental) professionals who are practicing in our community?  

Why don't you come along to this event :)

Please contact us as soon as possible if you're interested!

Week 7/8

"Do not let your hearts be troubled

Trust in God; trust also in me.”

Proverbs 3:5

We've just finished the 5th week of our 1st rotation (or 1st week for you people in geriatrics)...  So it's more than half way through!!  Hopefully you are coping with the stress, learning lots and enjoying being in the hospital environment :)

In light of the deeply saddening events in Japan, the above quote from Proverbs is really reassuring. Such disasters also remind us to appreciate what we do have. Just the Little Things is a daily blog we came across about little things we probably forget to appreciate in life. A little sample:

SMA-wise, the very successful Soiree was held last Tuesday (see some pics below) and delicious food & lots of fun was had by all!

We are also looking forward to our next year group gathering on Thursday 31st March at 7.30pm. If you are interested, we would love for you to shoot us an email so we can choose a venue that is suitable.

That is all for now! Have a lovely weekend and an even better week!

SMA Soiree 2011

Hey guys!

Pen SMA Soiree in for the 15th of March in your calendars -
as discussed in our little catch-up at the Byrneleigh a couple of weeks ago, we're in charge of entrees and desserts so if you're on the mailing list keep an eye out for an email from us.

Don't forget to RSVP to us by the 10th of March (this Thursday - sorry for the late notification!)

Hope you enjoyed your long weekend :)

Week 5

Well-spoken words bring satisfaction, 

Well-done work has its own reward.

Proverbs 12:14

Did you know that we're pretty darn close to being half-way through our first rotations?  Scary!!
Anyway, we hope that you all are holding up just fine and are getting through whatever uni's currently throwing at you, such as 7am ward-rounds, cranky consultants, discharge summaries and research projects.

So if it's all a bit over-whelming, remember to take some time out this week to re-evaluate and ponder what you want this year to bring to you.  Steph and I both find that writing things down and devoting time to our hobbies (such as tending to our other blog - yes, that was a shameless plug!, photography, treasure-hunting in op-shops) also makes life that little bit more bearable.  (Also, we're both doing psychiatry at the moment so we don't have that much to complain about anyway)

For our regulars and those who are interested in seeing what SMA is about, pencil into your diaries our March meet-up, which will be held on the 31st of this month.  More details will be coming your way soon!

Soon, we'll also let you know about SMA Soiree - an inter-year even that is held annually for the newest SMA members to get to know who's who.  As 4th-years and up, we're in charge of entrees and dessert, so expect to be in for a treat!

And remember, 

If you feel you missed the SMA-boat ever since first year and you would like to join in on our frivolities, just send us an email or come to speak to us!

 Have a fantastic week,

Trish & Steph
