[Ify Nweke, MD, MS @InternallyIfy]

Welcome everybody! My name is Ify (ee-ph-ee) Nweke (new-week-key). A little bit about me for those who don’t know me. I love to cook and bake. I’m a dual-citizen (Nigeria and US). I watch Christmas movies year round. I love Black women. I’m guided by my faith, love, and justice.

Find one that you trust and stick with them.

This is why I recommend everyone see their PCP!

Beyond excited to share I matched at UCLA for orthopaedic surgery!!
I’m so grateful to my mentors for helping me navigate this path and to my family for being my inspiration. #match2026

I've seen no fewer than 15 Black women post about matching to OB/GYN this week, which is such a gift to our society given the horrific state of maternal mortality in America. These brilliant doctors are going to keep so many women safe throughout their careers.

Why is dental insurance and vision insurance separate from regular health insurance?

Are your teeth and eyes not a part of your body?????

[Ego Ofoegbu, M.S @dr_ofoegbu]

Yes and yes!!

Only one person understood why I wore pink scrubs today

This is bad news. This is very bad news.

The US government has stopped the funding of PubMed, the most comprehensive database of biomedical literature.

Why would you do this? This database it literally a matter of life and death.

USMLE Hematology Tip: Factor VII has the shortest half-life of the major clotting factors (~4–6 hours). It’s the first to drop when warfarin is started. That’s why we monitor with PT/INR—only PT captures Factor VII, not PTT. Warfarin → Factor VII falls first → PT/INR goes up.

When I was bored I would watch Grey’s to spot medical inaccuracies, and use it to learn what was actually correct.

[miss gurl @shes_rADIAnt]

I wonder how attorneys feel about Suits and how doctors feel about Grey’s.

[Ify Nweke, MD, MS @InternallyIfy]

Me stopping people mid-sentence on a daily basis to teach them how to spell or pronounce my name!

[Jason Ryan @jasonryanmd]

One major issue I have with encouraging students to “do research during med school” to earn a residency spot is that it cheapens what research actually is. It sends the message that research is something you squeeze in between learning physiology, primary care, surgery, and everything else. Good research takes TIME, focus and real intellectual investment. Treating it like a side hobby shows a lack of respect for what good researchers actually do.

Love when my attendings say my note is perfect! No changes!

[Red Wine Supremacist @kaydot24_]

@InternallyIfy Love this for you!!!

[Brielle Davidson @briedavidson]

Calling my mom to ask her to tell me I’m not stupid because the gap between being a good medical student and being a good intern is larger than the Grand Canyon.

I passed step 2, and got a reasonable score for my application. I’m so proud of myself. It’s not a fancy shiny top end score but I’m proud of the work I put in. I studies almost full time at the beach for a month, took care of myself, and really approached the test to learn.

[Marcia Faustin @FaustinMarcia]

Proud and inspired. Your average is AMAZING ❤️
