Surgeon math is
✨Tryin to get through 4 cases by 3pm
✨“We’re almost done” = 1 hour
✨“I have time for 1 more case”
✨I can do 3x24hour shifts in 1 week
✨Calories on-call don’t count
✨Booking meetings or Pilates post-call
✨“EBL was minimal”
Yep 🤷🏻♀️
This dislocation presented to the ED and despite successful digital block was not able to be reduced on multiple attempts by multiple different physicians…why?
For weeks, I’ve waited patiently for preliminary application data for the 2023-2024 residency application to be released by the AAMC.
And today they dropped.
So you know what that means.
Yup, that’s right.
It’s time to break it down, Winners & Losers style™️.

On the tougher days in this job, I need to remind myself that:
-the self-doubt means I have ambitious career goals
-the failure means I'm taking risks and trying something new
-the frustration means I care and I'm passionate about my work
Received my official approved FMLA/maternity leave package as a PGY-2/R1.
12-weeks paid at 100%.
No guilt.
No shaming.
No extension of training.
Just love and support from faculty and co-residents.
THIS IS THE WAY.
The process of becoming a surgical resident, from doing away rotations and attending conferences to submitting applications, can cost thousands of $$.
But what do you do if you can't afford it?🧵
As surgical residency programs reach gender parity, department leaders need to create a culture of support for pregnant, postpartum and lactating trainees. @ErikaRangelMD describes a framework for designing a mentorship program for pregnant residents. https://t.co/UgzyLUmLEN
