Whelp, it’ October 1st. That means the first 3 months of Residency are done! (Only 45 more to go) Going from pre-med, to med student, to resident physician feels like a period of time that passed in a blink of an eye.

I started psychiatry residency on my Internal Medicine rotation. For the first few weeks I couldn’t decide if I was lucky…

Today marked the first day of my 2nd month in Residency. The first month has gone by so fast! One thing that always amaze and inspires me is how much I don’t yet know. When I was younger not knowing things would be frustrating – it’s one of the reasons why I wanted to become a doctor. Now however, it’s exciting to know that there’s so much more…

I really like this a lot! It’s really strong on holistic thinking and seeing health as more then just physical or mental process – but also a cultural, familial, community, and spiritual state. I think if you continue to develop out these themes you’re going to have a really powerful and insightful essay.

@sameera

Your mission is really inspiring! I think more humanization in medicine is just so so desperately needed. I know a lot of our training sadly has the tendency to reduce people to lab values, numbers, and algorithms instead of suffering human beings it just feels so tragic.

Let me know if I can support your journey and mission to…

Just got my Moderna COVID vaccination today at RowanSOM. All together took maybe 30 – 45 minutes? Most of that was spent doing paperwork and waiting after I got my shot.

Went in with mask on, everything and everyone was nicely spaced out. I gave them my Health Insurance Card and License. Confirmed I had no allergies to vaccinations. Then I…

Hey! Great opportunity here for pre-meds and med students. Use the link below to get a simple cheek swab. This cheek swab is used to determine your HLA type. Then if you are a match for a someone who needs a donation, they setup an entirely pain-free process of donation. Most of the time that donation is just like giving plasma – super easy.

One of the biggest things that derails people in medical school is their typing skills. They just don’t type fast enough for some of our timed standardized patient exams. I would strongly recommend taking a course like this before starting med school. https://www.typingclub.com/

Great points! I know when I head back to the hospital next week I’m going to be doing it with a lot more appreciation and insight into the risks and sacrifices of all the team members there.

I’ve been hearing there’s lots of stats on the Level 2. So here’s my SMART goal for the next month, until test day on the 24th.

5 random numerical practice stats problems each day. That’ll give me about 125 practice problems between now and exam day. Hopefully that’ll be enough lol!
