Today I checked in with my new work at Weill Cornell Medical College up on E86th and York Ave. I'll be working in the Medicine/Gastrointestinal department with A/Prof Andrew Talal. I have to sign up as a volunteer and have a physical examination so I can get an staff ID and IT access. I spent most of the time today filling in forms and then had a quick tour of the hospital and college. Like all hospitals it's huge and confusing and if I manage by the end of the 6 months to know my way around there I will be impressed.
In the same area as the hospital and college are Rockefeller University and Sloan Memorial Kettering Cancer Centre so the couple of blocks are chockers with doctors, nurses, patients and ambulances.
I then got to check out where I'm going to sit for my two days per week and it's not so fancy. I'm in a disused old lab with no windows sharing with some guy. It's not quite the quaint little terrace in Darlinghurst that I'm used to but I'll survive. I think I will be out and about at meetings quite a lot.
Speaking of meetings I have two next week, one of which I will be presenting at so it's time to get back into the swing of things and start working.........
