7. Earn my BM, BCh from Exeter College, Oxford --I'll take my USMLE
exams, of course!--
8. Return to the US and take my internal medicine residency at Johns
Hopkins
9. Pass the Member****p of the Royal College of Physicians exam
10. Take my medical oncology fellow****p at Mass General and moonlight
on weekends as an attending internist
11. Take a post as an asst. professor of medical oncology at Harvard
Medical School
12. Do research to earn my MD by publication from King's College,
Cambridge
13. Get elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians
14. Take up a post as an associate professor of medical oncology at
UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine
