This picture absolutely represents more than a thousand words.
Only 14% of Lao-Americans have a 4-yr degree, 3% have a post-grad degree, even less are physicians. I made it as a single parent!

Daunte Wright’s killing was not a random, disconnected “accident” - it was the repeated outcome of an indefensible system that grants impunity for state violence, rewards it w/ endlessly growing budgets at the cost of community investment, & targets those who question that order.

@arsonmusicc @DoctoraMami True but definitions aside, a 19 yo’s mind is much more child than it is adult, no? Nothing magically changes at 18

It’s so obvious when an interviewer hasn’t really read over my application. The questions they ask say it all

[Zaineb Shatawi, MD @ZainebShatawi]

More programs should do this! I love it.

[Harshini Sahani @harshini_sahani]

Thank you to the program who not only recognized the hard work I put into my PS, but also included a quote from each & every applicants’ PS in the interview intro presentation. It made me so emotional to feel like all our efforts were finally seen & heard. #MedTwitter #Match2021

[Zaineb Shatawi, MD @ZainebShatawi]

I love this!

[Ian Fields, MD, MCR @eeyanmiller]

As interview season is upon us again, I’ll share this again: At the conclusion of each interview, I read the applicant a line from one of their letters of recommendation. This year, more than ever, it is important to recognize the incredible things these trainees have done!

If you’re a competitive applicant and you’re hogging 20+ interviews just because you can, I hope your webcam makes you look grainy

#TipsForNewDocs
Traits I like in a doctor:
1. #Humility. (Keeps asking others' opinions.)
2. #Empathy. (No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.)
3. #Integrity. (Does what they say they will do.)
4. #Diligence. (Keeps working the problem.)
