2021: oh, how we have been waiting for you! The new year is time for reflection and anticipation, so we asked four medical students from UWSMPH—each in a different year of training—to write about their year, their journey through medical school, and their hopes for 2021. In part 1 of our ‘New Year’ series, Leah Gruen, a first year student, and Jose Carrillo, a fourth year student, look back at their time in medical school and forward to a new year. Stay tuned for part 2 with a second and third year student on 1/27/2021!
