 Before coming to the JHU NHGRI Genetic Counseling Program, I was worried about the commute. Although I was excited that we would have the opportunity to work at both institutions, once in Baltimore and the other ones in Bethesda. Me too. But once I understood that the students often commute together and that the program tries to schedule classes so that you're never in both cities on the same day, I felt that was a lot more manageable. Yeah, and even one of the former students told me that it should be a requirement for the first years to commute together just to, you know, learn about each other, share clinical experiences, get support. Yeah, and you could take a nap if somebody else is driving. Really? I don't think I would have shared or learned as much if it weren't for all that time in the car with my classmates. Yeah, I agree. I think that I just think of it as a cost of being both at the NIH, a major medical center in the world as well as at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health rated top in the nation. So for me, the benefits outweigh the inconvenience. Most days. Most days.
