@OliviaDuffield8 Whatever you want! I personally wore black sweats with a fuzzy blanket and slippers for every interview… but had friends who wore full suit and heels to feel confident so dealers choice!! If a program asks you to stand, run! 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏽‍♀️

Just learned that for #Match2024, the #ERAS application got rid of the Hobbies section, and applicants were told to add it as an additional experience and some were told to use words like “enthusiast” or “fan”. This is important info for the application reviewers!!! 🚨🚨🚨

Ok so I haven’t used this app in months (I miss the blue bird) — so hi hello, I’m now a PGY-3 at Penn #PMR, am Junior Chief, published a case report on SCD+cervical stenosis and a narrative review on nutrition following #TBI, and am in a Healthcare Leadership in Quality track!

[Palak @PalakPatelPMR]

What I am really excited about is that we decided to start up a **Resident-Run** Instagram so that we can share some more BTS and insight into our program!! Check us out —> https://t.co/4E6cM3rf8G

@KevinCChiang I was so convinced I wanted to be a pediatric allergist going into med school… and now here I am in PM&R residency 🤷🏽‍♀️

On this very fine #DoctorsDay, I did my first Botox injections :-))))

Taking Step 3 in less than a week and I can’t wait to wave buh-bye to the boardsssssssss (well, for 3 years at least lol)

[Palak @PalakPatelPMR]

Yes I repeat the same joke to all my patients when I am cross covering my co-interns list and say “we decided to be nice and give Dr. ____ the weekend off” and yes they laugh and yes it’s corny but no I won’t stop

The brand new HUP Pavilion Hospital has a feature that when you walk into a patient room, your badge photo and name pops up on the TV… and no patient recognizes me since I look VERY different as my real life tired self 😳😳😳

Getting out of bed at 4:15AM.. when it’s snowing outside.. is so painful. Can’t imagine how you surgical folks do this every winter 😵‍💫

Idk if you all noticed - every time a president threatens to restart loan repayments COVID comes back with a vengeance. Now, I am a woman of science so I get correlation ≠ causation, but I am also a woman of broke, so like why not cancel loans just to test the theory. @JoeBiden?

[Palak @PalakPatelPMR]

@eveobregonMD Congrats!!!! 🎉🎊🎈

Just some thoughts from back when I was a Neonatology Clincial Resesrch Assistant at @BIDMCneo 💜#WorldPrematurityDay

[Palak @PalakPatelPMR]

I went from having 0 experience with my patients dying all through med school… to have nearly 15 die just since September. It’s a lot for anyone, especially a still new-ish intern. Would really welcome any words/books/videos that helped you process these tough times 😔

[Palak @PalakPatelPMR]

Every time I get clinical feedback, I get comments on my warm/soothing/calm voice and demeanor… if only they knew what was actually going on in my brain 😳🤪
