I'd travel around the world for a residency

Turns out that this is almost literally true. In an idle moment I looked at how many miles I racked up going to residency interviews and came up with the following interesting statistics:

Circumference of the Earth: 24,900 miles
Total miles traveled for residency interviews: 23,089
Ratio of miles traveled to circumference of the Earth: 0.927

In other words, looking for a medical training position I traveled the equivalent of over 90% of the distance around the Earth at the equator. For the truly detail-obsessed, here's the breakdown by mode of transport:

Miles by air: 20,648
Miles by car: 2,052
Miles by rail: 389

And the total costs of all of this? I'm trying not to think about it.
