I'd rather be on Kaua'i ....

About Me

I'm currently a medical student at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. I had an amazing third year, and learned so much from my patients. I have so many stories and memories that will stay with me for a long time. I loved every rotation last year, so I decided to spend a year doing clinical research. I'm now a Doris Duke Fellow and I'm having a GREAT time working with the obstetrics, psychiatry, and pediatrics departments. The best part is that I get to see patients every week. I haven't decided on a specialty yet... stay tuned!

My Interests

SLEEPING, chillin with my folks, watching football. I also like to cook and I'm a big fan of driving. I'm currently learning how to drive my dad's '76 Trans AM. I LOVE taking care of patients in the hospital. I feel extremely blessed to be a medical student and future doctor!

I'd like to meet:

Friends from the Yay Area, high school, and from medical school

Music:

EVERYTHING! I watched A LOT of MTV growing up instead of Sesame Street! I love old skool West Coast hip hop, blue-eyed soul, Christian artists, classical, and even a lil bit of country! I always have a song stuck in my head. Jamiroquai is one of my all-time favorite groups. Check out one of their most famous videos!

Missed Opportunity

I'm feeling like a total heel right now. I've started working with the youth again at church and today we had a large corporate service. I usually sit in the back along the sides with the other volun...

Yesterday I recieved a package in the mail from UT Southwestern for my spring courses. As I was looking through the papers, I glanced at my personal data sheet to see how I'm classified now that I'm n...

Another great moment in Allison history

Just when I start to forget that my school is connected to the county hospital... I was on my way to medical records to return my patients charts. When I reached for the door handle to enter Parkland,...

Step 2 CK is DONE!

I'm happy to say that I took my Step 2 CK yesterday! It was 9 hours of questions about everything... but way more interesting to take than Step 1. Step 1 was all basic science, so studying was really...

Church is Awesome

What a blessing it is to be able to go to church and worship freely! Today's church service was unusual. For starters, the lights were out in the sanctuary because of overnight storms. The air conditi...

Whitney Houston, 2Pac and Random Thoughts

Whitney Houston is filing for divorce from Bobby Brown! It's about time!   It amazes me how a person can go on national television and say that she does cocaine ("I don't do crack! I do cocaine. ...
