So grateful that @MCWSurgery brought me not only this amazing group of lady interns but also two birthday buddies to celebrate with on the day before intern year!!

This moment brought to you by vaccines ☺️

A mini road trip through Texas to visit family and friends I hadn’t seen in 2+ years was just what I needed to fill my cup before residency starts Monday (!!)

[Mary L. Brandt, MD, MDiv @drmlb]

I'm working on a top 10 list of things I wish I had known (or done) before I started my internship. What would you put on the list #medtwitter?

[Olugbenga Okusanya MD @okusanyamd]

As we approach the new academic year, I have a small list of the best advice I’ve heard or cultivated in order to maximize your training experience. By no means comprehensive. Others have excellent lists.

You: “Hello! Will this be your first dose today?”
Me: “No. Second.”

You nodded and then entered something into the tablet in your hands. Suddenly your head flung up as if you’d forgotten something.

You: “I’m sorry. How y’all doing this evening?”

I offered a thumbs up.

@ktcollopy @AirLinkVitaLink That’s awesome! I really enjoyed my experience as an AEMT and would love to find a way to bring that into my future career

7 years ago I became an EMT and in a few weeks I’ll start my general surgery training. So surreal!
