Rob and his undergrad friend Pat who got into the U with him...a great study buddy!
Another local Beaver Boy, Rhett Smith is in Rob's class...5 years younger than he is, but both representing Beaver Proudly.
Rob had the honor of receiving his physician's coat from the Dean of the School of Medicine on Friday. It was so awesome to see him there with his class of 2013...Wow we have a long ways to go! It is a brand new curriculum this year at the U of U. They have done away with "years" and now call them "phases". This new curriculum is very accelerated, and we know it will be challenging. They told me, the wife, to expect him home 45 minutes a day, and that includes showering and eating time. Wonderful....sniff sniff. But Robbie also knows he is in this to be the best doctor there is, and he knows this will help him do it! He just "met" his 80 year old cadaver last week and already cut her from neck to butt...quite the introduction. He starts doing his clinicals this Thursday, and is anxious to use all his medical gear! We are so proud of you Robbie!

That is the coolest thing ever! Rob will make an awesome doctor! Good luck to us "single moms" for the next few years! Tell him good luck from us!
That is awesome! Congrats!! I'm sorry you have to become a med-school widow:) Hopefully it will go by fast:) BTW, cute family:)
Congrats, Rob! Especially on the part about the cadaver, that doesn't sound gross at all!
GO ROB! YOU ROCK! Miss you guys TONS! Can't wait to get together and celebrate! Kate...you and me baby...just like old times!
Distinguished Rob very Distinguised!
Kate you are welcome anytime at least you have Thomas to keep you busy imagine doing this childless.
It's not as bad as they say Kate. My husband is in his second year and we are able to spend time together. Plus if your husband is the type that can study at home, that helps alot.
Brings back memories! Good Luck!
