Home Sweet Home at Penn

In our final 2011 Penn Med Match Day post, Katie Baratz Dalke reveals she'll be staying right here at Penn for her residency in Psychiatry and she might even get a puppy out of the deal too! We are also pleased to note that Danielle Brown has matched at Penn for residency in General Surgery. To watch all of the excitement unfold, be sure to check out the entire Penn Med 2011 Match Day video!

Well, the Match has come and gone.  I am thrilled to announce that I got my first choice, a Psychiatry residency here at Penn! Not only do I absolutely love the program (especially the amazing faculty with whom I'll get to work), it means that I get to stay in Philly with my husband, Sam.  We love the city and are excited to be finally together after 4 years of long distance. 

I can't wait to get started in mid-June.  It will be so exciting to stay a member of the Penn family and to start working with Penn medical students! Until then, though, I'm going to try to enjoy my time off.  I'll finish up my Masters in Bioethics and travel to spend time with my family and Sam.  And we're hoping to adopt a puppy (which I'd like to call Match, seeing as we chose the one we'd like on Match day)!

 Oh! I almost forgot--we have two performances of Phallus in Wonderland, this year's Penn Med Spoof, this Saturday, March 26, at 4pm and 7pm in Dunlop auditorium.  For information, please email Spoof2011@gmail.com.
