I arrived somewhat sleep deprived (15 hrs in the last 3 days) just before midnight last night in Baltimore to a bear hug from my friend Andy. Despite knowing only that my course in tropical medicine began at 8:30am, but not where, exactly, I did make it there in time for the first lecture. Turns out out they had my email address wrong, but also that they didn't inform everyone who's address they had correct until 4 days ago. Almost feels like Bangladesh already :-D
This week is TB and HIV: today covered several things including multi-drug resistance, socioeconomic effects, prophylaxis, testing, public health approaches etc. I was riveted. I just might be in the right profession.
