Key concept for physician-scientist trainees (and programs) to embrace is that “Real Life” doesn’t wait for us to finish training, nor should it. I am an intern, father, scientist, husband, colleague, friend, neighbor, son… and I am all of these things at the same time.

@AdamRodmanMD I think he would appreciate the limitations of each. We don’t usually get daily CT scans on our hospitalized patients, and it doesn’t cost our patients $3,500 to listen. Trends matter in medicine, and the physical exam is something we can do every day.

@PaigeLemen @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter I can relate with this feeling. I supported a family of 5 on my graduate stipend, which placed us well beneath the poverty line for nearly a decade (all while working > 60 hrs/wk). I was allowed 10 hrs/wk of “extracurriculars”, which I used to make ends meet by tutoring.

Winter may bring shorter days and chilly weather, but it also means festive adventures and Glühwein (or kinderpunch)…

UAB has many opportunities to meaningfully contribute, whether it's teaching, mentoring, leading, and serving. And honestly, if you don't see an opportunity, make one. After 6 years, I feel like I'm still just scratching the surface...
