I matched into plastic surgery at @UCI_PRS_Res!!! I am still in shock & am so thankful for my family & mentors! This journey has been incredibly tumultuous, but I am so grateful for every single hurdle. This first-gen student is a plastic surgeon 🥳 #Match2023 #MatchDay2023

@WomenSurgeons #AWSChat A5: Rank based on where you want to go! Do not worry about other students, just focus on what you want.

[Brea Willey @BreaWilley]

@WomenSurgeons #AWSChat A4: Also know that for some rotations they will automatically give LOR.

[Brea Willey @BreaWilley]

@WomenSurgeons #AWSChat A3: For plastic surgery- youtube, secrets of PRS, essentials of plastic surgery, and Michigan manual

[Brea Willey @BreaWilley]

@WomenSurgeons #AWSChat I think it is very important! The residents notice who is the most prepared and dedicated. The month you are rotating you want to show that you will be an amazing co-resident because you wont leave the team hanging even if you're tired and ready to go home.

[Brea Willey @BreaWilley]

@WomenSurgeons #AWSChat #SuccessfulSubI A1: If you are still on rotations now pay attention to what the intern does. I.e. what do they on consults, what types of questions are they asking patients, language used in notes, how are they assessing the wounds, how are they presenting patients

[Brea Willey @BreaWilley]

@WomenSurgeons #AWSChat A1: Sub-Is are different from clerkships as you are expected to know more about the procedures and essentially perform like an intern. It may sound scary but trust that you were prepared during your clerkships and don't be afraid to push yourself!
