Although my rotation with rxBriefcase has come to an end, I
know that rxBriefcase will continue to be a valuable asset through my journey
of life-long learning.
I would like to thank everyone at mdBriefcase for all the
opportunities I’ve been given. The writing support and freedom of expression I
received here was phenomenal. I’m sure future students would thoroughly enjoy
this rotation as much as I did.
