【 摘 要 】
I arrived in Boston during the summer of 1984, having been coaxed there by F. Sessions Cole, III. The carrot was the shortening of residency to 2 years, and thus a return to the lab all the quicker. Dr. Avery was the chair of the department at that time, and so supported my bid to enter the Special Alternative Pathway. While that may sound easy, I had unintentionally made it more difficult by doing my internship as my fourth year of medical school. To the American Board of Pediatrics, on paper, I had done only a year of residency, and would not be board eligible if I left my residency program. After much negotiation, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine recalled my diploma, and re-issued it with a graduating date of 1982 rather than 1983. And thus I started my fellowship after 2 years of official residency! And did get back to the lab a year sooner than otherwise.
