Not Sure if I Could Do It

My day of work is done. I have gone for my jog and eaten dinner. The little one has gotten her story and has been tucked in for the night. So now it's time to sit down and study for that OKAP. I've mentioned it before, and you best be prepared to hear it mentioned in the future.

If you know me at all, you know I'm interested in oculoplastics. This would entail a two-year fellowship after the completion of residency. How that whole process works is an entirely different discussion. Suffice it to say, I have to be prepared with a backup plan. I've always thought that if the oculoplastics thing didn't work out, I would seriously consider doing a cornea fellowship. I have experience with the tissue bank and I think I would enjoy being a corneal surgeon.

Which brings me to the point. I'm focusing this week on cornea and anterior segment diseases in studying for the OKAP. And then I sit back and wonder, having to learn all this stuff, could I really become a competent corneal specialist?

I just don't know.
