I am so proud of Chris!
For those who do not know Chris is now attending Podiatry school at Western University of Health Science in Pomona, CA.
So last week Chris got to participate in his White Coat Ceremony. It was a neat event and was nice to hear some encouraging words before he starts out on this long journey. Here are some facts about school:
- This is the INAUGURAL year for the Podiatry School at this University
- There are about 35 students in his class (of 2013)
- School is 4 years long (after which he will participate in a 3 year residency)
- He attends class with Students in the other colleges - such as DO (same as MD), Dental, Optometry, PA, and more!
- There are about 10 LDS members in his class (which is wonderful to instantly have a network of friends!)
- They take their classes in BLOCKS...so until Halloween all Chris will take is Gross Anatomy.

Congratulations to you too! That's so exciting. :) People always say that you'll never see your husband while he's in medical/dental school - but you totally do! I mean, yes, there will be times when he's studying a lot (and maybe you'll get lucky like me and Chris will want to study at home like Dan usually does) but it's not like you NEVER see them...it's totally do-able. Don't worry!
Don't you love the white coats? They look so official (and then you realize they still have quite a few years until their skills match their appearance :)
And I ditto the comment above...unless he's a super crazy studier, you'll see him! Grant's schedule isn't near as terrible as everyone tried to scare me into thinking it would be.
Good job Chris!! You are awesome!
