News of the Decade!
Dr. Nelson has been accepted as a resident into the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Program at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY (about 40 miles north of Manhattan). He begins the program on July 1, 2011, and we will be moving up there towards the end of June. We are thrilled. Peter has paid a very steep price to follow his dream of becoming an oral surgeon. A few of his colleagues have not yet been accepted into OMFS programs even after internships and other similar grunt work as GPR's (general practice residency - one year positions in hospitals as dentists). So, we are very grateful and very blessed. The best part about this whole thing is that 1. Allison gets to quit her job and 2. she gets to own a puppy! Westchester is a more affordable place to live with more wide open spaces. We'll have to buy a car, of course, so its ironic that we just got rid of ours a year ago. After four years of dental school, two years of internship, and the upcoming four years of residency, this is truly the news of the decade! Congratulations Peter on all of your hard work, dedication and persistence. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. :)

Congratulations! And still in NY. I'm holding out hope that someday I'll get to visit. :)
My brother, Jeff, is just beginning his adventures in dentistry. Took the DAT on Sat. so I've heard how hard and competitive it all is. Congrats again!
That's amazing, Allison!!! Way to pay your tithing. :) Congrats and good luck on the move and picking a puppy.
