Dear #Interns of 2024-
Welcome to the noblest of professions.
You are one of us now.
It’s great pressure and stress- the world we’re responsible for in the healing arts.
It’s simultaneously a great honor.
My advice?
1. Listen closely to our patients. Hear them- they’ll tell you what you need to know.
2. Ask for help. NEVER worry alone.
3. Above all, remember your “why” for choosing this difficult route- it is worth it no matter the cynicism that you may find yourself surrounded by in the years ahead.
All of your attendings vividly remember our first day, too.

Exciting to be w/@TexACEP sisters & brothers to celebrate the Big 5-0 of @TexACEP! So many years of my #EMS & #emergencymedicine life has been in The Lone Star State. Can’t think of a better first speaker than friend, mentor, servant leader, encourager than @AWeltge @ACEPNow
