PM&R PGY2 at VCU. CrossFit/Oly lifting. Video games. Trying to look like I halfway know what I’m doing

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

Whew. Been a while since I’ve been on here. Hope everyone’s pre-ERAS time is going well. As always, let me know if you have any PM&R related residency application questions or need something reviewed/read over.

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

@TheWalkingJosh Fall out boy*

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

I’m going to VCU!!!!! See you in July, Richmonddd!!! #Match2023 #PMR #Physiatry

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

So PSA to all other Attendings today, please send your students home. I have so much cleaning and prep to do for family/friends coming into town. And my mind is nowhere near a clinical setting to focus on patients. Can’t wait to pass it forward one day.

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

Had an ED shift scheduled from 7a-7p today. After I saw one patient, the attending said “do you just wanna go home?? Isn’t Match Day tomorrow and you’re doing PMR? You don’t need the ED, plus we desperately need good PMR docs like you” and I was just like “umm yes wowww thx”

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

@BethanyMPauly Thank youuu. Now I can offer “official” advice on how to match lol

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

I get to be one of them Pee-Em…..PMN….oh you said PM&R doctorsssssss #Match2023

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

@MVGutierrezMD Thank you thank you thank youuuuu

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

<48hrs until “preliminary match” Match Day. Oh baby. Oooh baby the anxiety is making its home. Not the worriful anxiety, but the “wow 4 years of work leading to one moment” anxiety we all wait for.
***warning this video is LOUD*** (but adequately represents my emotions)

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

Two more weeks of interviews.
Finishing up my last PMR Sub-i.
Everything’s slowly coming to a close and I’m so thankful, grateful, and anxious. Now to make it through March

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

@AmyWestMD @whoop That sunday strain is the best tho

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

ERAS Done. Now we wait….and wait

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

@amywestmd Yes. Half my personal statement is about this. Makes such a difference when educating about health and exercise when I can actually give in-depth recommendations for patient education so they’re more likely to follow through. I love it.

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

Any PM&R residents/Attendings mind reading my personal statement and giving me a quick “yay/nay” or help me realize anything I’m missing? 😬😬

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

@StudentDrDewan LOL I legit haven’t hardly seen any so I felt kinda unique, and I’m dying now

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

Fresh new headshot. Slowly inching closer to ERAS deadline next monthhh?? Whew the stress is slowly building. Here we come PM&R future

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

Passed both COMLEX 2 and STEP 2. No more of that for a while.
Now to turn my stress even higher for the next two months with ERAS and auditions.

[Reed Pierce @ReedPierceOMS]

So @TWG2022 were fun and impressive. I wish I had this much hip compression capability, much less on top of 2 other humans. Complete with a forward falling human tower
