Still celebrating #FellowshipMatch!

I still cannot believe I am going to be a pediatric emergency medicine trained physician! 🤩

So excited to be moving to Baltimore! Taking recs and tips for all things DMV!

Asking for one saturday off to attend my brother’s wedding, only to end up being scheduled to work on that day might just be my breaking point tbh 🙃

#PedsMatch25 applicant update: some programs will be delayed beyond the plan to extend interview invites on 10/10, especially programs affected by the south eastern storms. @APPDconnect

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

Honestly truly cannot wait to have residency in my rearview mirror. Whew.

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

Good luck to everyone applying for fellowship this cycle! Going through residency and deciding to pursue more training is no small decision, and means that we’re passionate about the fields we’re going into! May all our efforts be compensated this #Match season. #PEMMatch2025

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

@Girl81Runner Thank you! 😊

“You’re the only resident who wears scrubs” is literally wild 😂😂😂

Like ma’am, please stop talking to me.

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

A nurse referred to me as the tech (twice) after I introduced myself as the resident.

She later “apologized” stating that normally doctors are dressed nicely, which is why she didn’t recognize me (I’m in blue figs scrubs and a patagonia) aka what every resident wears 🙃

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

Ooo and everyone else chuckled.

Just another day being a “valued member of the team” 🤗🤗🤗

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

Got to meet (and get Legacy signed by) Dr. @uche_blackstock today!

[uché blackstock, md @uche_blackstock]

While other colleagues have already posted, I felt compelled to amplify the anti-DEI movement happening in the main dermatology professional society @AADskin! A group of members have put forth a resolution to sunset all DEI programs. **Only 3% of dermatologists are Black.

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

Anyone here selling (or knows someone selling/donating 😅) peds board study resources please?

[Next Gen Pediatricians @NextGenPeds]

Time sure flies during interview season! Keep up the great work and let’s check in at NGP’s next session Dec 5. See you there!

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

@florianc_md Genre ils se moquent de nous au fait 😅. Like bfr

[Keisha Target, MD @KeishaTarget]

Wellness lecture from this morning.

Lecturer: what do you like to do for fun?
Resident: hiking
L: ok, how can you get that same feel when you don’t have the time?
R: I guess a treadmill?
L: smaller scale. How about a lap around the office?

😅😅 Medicine is pure comedy.
