That is one of the reasons I’m so passionate about mentorship and teaching-to show students who are like my younger self that you can take yourself far with hard work!

[Thea Lananh Swenson, MD @doctortheaLS]

Thank you @doximity for top 10% most published.

I started residency with 1 publication and 0 first authors. So to the intimidated and hopeless student I once was, please know it is possible!

[Thea Lananh Swenson, MD @doctortheaLS]

My social media shy mentor Michelle Izmaylov was the one who introduced me to the world of academic medicine. That is the key #mentorship #meded #medtwitter #womeninmedicine

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…

for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.

[Thea Lananh Swenson, MD @doctortheaLS]

Most of all, thank you to my husband who fought with me every step of the way, my newborn who went on so many interviews with me last fall
my parents, family and brother-who I am proud will be following my lead at Cornell/Columbia. Nothing makes me happier 🎓

[Thea Lananh Swenson, MD @doctortheaLS]

Then and now-always in perfect formation. I am grateful for my coresidents who have become lifelong friends and thankful to my mentors who got me to where I am 🎓 @JamesEGardnerMD @samirkhanDO @roehmerc @vumcpmr #graduation2023
