If I play my cards correctly, I'm going to try and attend the conference this year. It's located in Seattle...maybe I could stay with Stinka.
Going to the APA was an amazing experience in that I got to see thousands of psychiatrists all with a common goal: free drug rep paraphenalia. :) Just kidding...no, it was nice to see that there were psychiatrists of all shapes and sizes and colors and ages. But even more amazing was meeting the guys of the AGLP and LAGCAPA who were awesome! So I can only imagine how nice it'll be to have a whole conference of lesbian and gay physicians from all walks of life and specialities.
Yeah, finding a match would be nice; I can't kid myself into thinking that I won't be keeping my eyes out for my knight in shining armor. But it's also important to me to find other gay and lesbian resident friends who know exactly what it's like to have to balance the yuckiness of the graduate medical education system and homosexuality and patients and living... I got a taste of this at AGLP and it was such a breath of fresh air.
In any case, it'll give me the chance to use up some of my book money which I foolishly almost lose each year. Especially with Incompetent McChauncey in charge of reimbursements.
Besides, I'll get to see Seattle for the first time...in fact, it'll be my first time in the west ever! Neato!
