Scrubin’ – my wife’s new life
The more I learn about the University of Chicago–where my wife will be attending medical school next fall–the more I like it. In addition to being one of the top academic institutions in the country, they seem to, in the med school at least, have a great student culture and a very happy student body.
The following video was made by John Paro, currently a fourth year medical student at U of C. He was actually my wife’s tour guide for her interview day! Have fun with this video, featuring the med school students of U of C and starring John, and see more videos like this at medschoolrock.com:
