Well, I’m a PGY1 now and oh my, it’s a steep learning curve!!
So many firsts— running traumas, patient deaths, consults, advocating for my pts, etc.
The high: being amongst such a supportive team 🫶🏼
The low: imposter syndrome
To all my M4s in #Match2024 -- good luck tomorrow and the rest of this week! You've worked incredibly hard these last four years and regardless of what happens, know that your success has no bounds! May God's favor locate you all 🙏🏾
