Many medical students come from privileged backgrounds, better equipped to handle social distancing.
But we have many learners who live with parents or grandparents, who now have to go home to help them out, whose experiences are significantly different.

@MichaelBBagg I wonder if programs will be extending out more interviews than usual because of the lack of expense.. and I wonder how this will affect IMG applicants who traditionally have a tougher time obtaining interviews
With the recommendation that residency interviews be conducted virtually due to the pandemic, I wonder with what means students will be able to gauge โfeelโ of a program - resident interactions were so critical in my experience
It still feels pretty surreal to have graduated from medical school today. So many memories have been made and I couldnโt be prouder to be a @McGovernMed alum โจ
This morning, Stanford Health Care and @StanfordChild#healthcare workers were cheered on by first responders and law enforcement during the change of shift. In return, nurses, doctors and hospital staff thanked first responders for sharing the front line. #StanfordMedTogether
After getting HACEK drilled into our brains for culture negative endocarditis during med school, I think I made an audible gasp when I learned it was Coxiella and Bartonella.
Itโs ok to NOT be ok. Too often as healthcare professionals are we expected to be โtoughโ and โshow no weakness.โ Physicians with and without disabilities, with and without mental illness, have transformed medicine and patient care.
@MichaelBBagg With the uncertainty of testing and the lack of away rotations, I wonder what program leadership will use to assess applicants - this will certainly be an unorthodox cycle
I feel for all of the 3rd year med students right now - so much uncertainty surrounding Step 2 CK/CS, ERAS application cycle, and timing of rotations. ๐
