Midyear feels like it happened such a long time ago! I have a tremendous amount of unpublished content and I cannot wait to share all my pictures and tips on the blog! Get ready for numerous posts on interview prep, what to bring, outfits, receptions and anything else associated with the madness of PPS at ASHP Midyear! These posts will be sprinkled throughout the year leading up to Midyear 2020... hopefully it's not a virtual Midyear!
LOCATION: Las Vegas, Nevada
Great place to be if you're there for pleasure - all the folks applying for residency were able to take it easy. For those applying to fellowships, I found myself writing thank you cards each night, reinforcing the knowledge I had about programs and running to receptions. Oh, taking an Uber took much longer than walking to different hotels for receptions (more details in a later post) since there was a Cowboy Rodeo, Marijuana Convention and Hockey Game...
VENUE: Mandalay Bay Convention Center
The convention center is massive but I spent the vast majority of my time in PPS with a slight detour to the Posters Ballroom for my Poster Presentation! This is in no means to downgrade the PPS layout because I averaged 15,000 steps each day. I found myself running from one end to another (in heels 😓) to make it to my interviews on time; I had to schedule some back-to-back interviews due to scheduling conflicts. More details to follow...
