I know what you are thinking, "Was this guy connected to UCI at some time before his medical school career"? The answer is YES!
During my carefree undergraduate years, I was a Peer Academic Advisor for the Campuswide Honors Program (93-94 & 94-95) and a House Assistant for Honors housing in the Arroyo Vista Housing Complex. I lived in house 1002 during the 1995-1996 academic year.
I was also a Campus Representative, giving tours and helping out with events like Celebrate UCI / Wayzgoose, UCI's open house.
One of my lives was as "Doogh," DJ of "The Persian Gulp" on KUCI radio 88.9 FM (June 94-Dec 95). If you are looking for a way to soothe your ears and get away from all of the harsh commercial radio you hear in Orange County, you should listen to KUCI, blasting you 24 hours a day with 200 Watts of live stereo sound from high atop Rowland Hall (formerly Physical Sciences I) or over the internet.
My undergraduate years at UCI ended in Fall 1996 when I received a BS in BS (A Bachelor's of Science in Biological Sciences, not what you thought those initials stood for). Then I came back for more as a medical student from 1997-2001.
When I finally graduated from medical school, I spent a year as a general surgery intern in the University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine, General Surgery Residency Program. I successfully completed my training at the Los Angeles County + USC Medical Center, the USC University Hospital, and the Norris Cancer Hospital.
So, I finally found a home in urology at the UCI Medical Center and a urologist. It's the best of both medicine and surgery, for men, women, children, cancer and benign diseases.
Life throws curve balls at you sometimes... I realized that the life was draining out of me already, more than I thought would ever happen in my whole career as a urologist. I needed to re-focus, renew, and find something that would allow me the time to live life and be a doctor. I don't want to knock urology... after all, some of my good friends are urologists, and I almost was one too! But, I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted my life back... not something a surgeon can ask for easily.
So, voila! I transformed into a rehabilitation medicine resident, and, yup, you guessed it, I was able to stay at good ol' UCI for my physical medicine & rehabilitation (PM&R) residency!
Two other web pages I have created are available for your viewing pleasure. They were created for Information and Computer Sciences 1C at the University of California, Irvine. There are two assignments: homework assignment three, where somethings may look familiar, or homework assignment four.
Finally, to help you create your own web page, you can take a look at an HTML Tutorial I created for the Honors Program as a teaching tool for some workshops I led. If you want to know more about how to make your own web page, this is the place to check out.
