As if there wasn’t enough on my plate during the spring and summer, I had to go and get all intellectual.

I signed up for an online review/prep course to start the process of pursuing my ABVP certification next year.
I’m not sure whether to be excited or apprehensive about this. I’m a good, practical doctor, but the details and pathophysiology of what I do every day have, in large part, faded into the background of my brain. Now I’ve got to dredge them back up, dust, polish, and wax them as well as add in the new bits that have been worked out in the sixteen or so years since I was cramming for my national board exams.
Fortunately these courses are ONLY covering dogs and cats so I don’t have to try and stuff ruminants and horses wholesale back into my head, but still.
I know a lot, but there’s a lot more that I’ve forgotten.

This is either going to be terribly exciting or a real live pain in the ass.
