Every action begins with an intention. Ready to study hard, master endoscopy, and be the best #GI fellow I can be. Follow me through fellowship as I explore #RVA and curate my interests in #mentorship, #reading, #writing, #goalsetting, and #bulletjournal-ing.

[Nikki Duong, M.D. @doctornikkid]

Being chief fellow can sometimes be a thankless job. So as first years, we wanted to say we LOVE our chiefs and will always remember the support, encouragement and kindness you gave to us when we were little first year fellows. #GITwitter #GIFamily #VCUGI 💩

[Nikki Duong, M.D. @doctornikkid]

We are forever in debt to you @AlmondHilton for your patience and time teaching us endoscopy as volunteer faculty! Thanks for a great party and fun first year of fellowship ✅💩. #YourFavoriteClass #Pinky #Fellowship #2ndYear #PGY5 #LoveMyCoFellows

@TypicallySilent @RubyMughal2 @_btrx_ @MHPoison1 Dreams sustain, yes, but also inspire and invigorate 🌷

[Irma Zahra @intentionxirma]

@TypicallySilent @RubyMughal2 @_btrx_ @MHPoison1 Hope gave way to heartbreak; still, resilience remains.

@TypicallySilent @RubyMughal2 @MeeraDas @KaylaPMHNP @OTirmizi @_btrx_ @MHPoison1 Slow down, friend, and smell the sweet roses.

[Irma Zahra @intentionxirma]

So proud of you, @md_harrington. I still remember being your intern once...you taught me so much beyond cardiology, including the kindest bedside manners I was honored to witness when rounding with you❤️

Imagine a city the size of Richmond, VA getting wiped out by the pandemic and half the country acting like they didn’t see it.

[Irma Zahra @intentionxirma]

My favorite talk of the season ❤️

Followed up the beautiful address by coming home and reading his chapter in Sleisenger 📖

The best talks need no slides. #DrLarryBrandt passing out pearls of wisdom
👉 Do you homework
👉 Imagination > knowledge
👉 Advice, like medication, is not equally useful and tolerated by all
👉 Listen to the patient’s story
