Hi folks!
I was busy with my first months of residency and did not use X as much as I would have liked.
As the new season is underway, I am here to help Pediatrics applicants with application review and offer any other advice and mentorship possible.
Feel free to reach out!

Finally, I completed my ROL, and it was certified. That is it!
Match Week is in 25 days upfront. Now, I wait and trust in my gut and God to give me the best program and place to train and start my life as a medical doctor in the US #Match2025 #ERAS2025 #USMLE #IMG #PedsMatch2025

Last week, I finished my interviews, and it was the end of the season for me. After all those weeks of interviews and opportunities to know people and excellent programs, I am very excited to start residency next summer! Match Week is in 50 days! #PedsMatch2025 #IMG #Match2025

[Plinio da Silva Oliveira Filho, MD @plinio_MD]

Finished my 7th week of IVs this season. Right now, I have one more week in January, and that is it.
Less than 100 days until match week!
Everything is going well, and I hope everybody gets a position to start residency next summer!

@ProjectImg Can you please share the link of this news or post?

[Plinio da Silva Oliveira Filho, MD @plinio_MD]

Starting the last month of the year, and I just finished my 6th week of IVs. All my IVs were incredible experiences to learn more about the programs and their people and know better the places where I can grow as a resident! #PedsMatch2025 #IMG #ERAS #USMLE #Match2025

[Plinio da Silva Oliveira Filho, MD @plinio_MD]

I finished November and my 5th week of IVs this season, which has been fantastic.
December waits for more IVs in the rest of this year and a couple more next January at the end of the season.
Match Week is right away! #PedsMatch2025 #IMG #ERAS #IMG #USMLE #Match2025

[Plinio da Silva Oliveira Filho, MD @plinio_MD]

I'm finishing my 2nd week of interviews today.
After my last one, I felt calmer and more comfortable going through the season and the next ones.
It is fantastic to chat with PDs, faculty, attendings, and residents and know their programs better.

[Plinio da Silva Oliveira Filho, MD @plinio_MD]

The interview season so far has been fantastic!
I will start my first IVs next week and I am excited about it.
I hope that everyone rocks in this season!

Tweeted from the US by a friend with access to Plinio's account and transmitted by WhatsApp due to X ban in Brazil

[Plinio da Silva Oliveira Filho, MD @plinio_MD]

If everything goes fine (and will!), I hope that next year I will be back in the US, where I will have the freedom and possibility to use X/Twitter to spread knowledge and share my new medical career as a pediatrics resident! See you guys! Good luck in the match! #IMG #Match2025

[Plinio da Silva Oliveira Filho, MD @plinio_MD]

Hello #MedTwitter #MedX

In a few days, I will be back home, and since the Brazilian Supreme Court decided to shut down X in Brazil and it is illegal to use a VPN to access, I will be less participative here. I will probably ask people from other countries to help me tweet +

[Plinio da Silva Oliveira Filho, MD @plinio_MD]

+ to continue using this social media that is so great for medicine. The next ERAS season is upfront, and keeping in touch with other applicants is fascinating. I intend not to disobey any decision or law (however unfair it may be). I hope that question will be solved soon.

[Plinio da Silva Oliveira Filho, MD @plinio_MD]

My last week of observership.
It had been four months since I started my rotations here in the US.
I had unique experiences and met excellent mentors and amazing people during this period.
I hope that next year, I can be here again as a resident.
