Today I met this lovely man who happened to be watching Pathoma videos a few seats away from me. He saw that I was studying as well and asked where I was on my medical journey. This led to a conversation about his journey.

The connections I made at
@SNMA
AMEC 2023 opened so many doors. Literally was denied this sub-I last week b/c the dates I wanted werenโt available. So I reached out to one of the docs I met at AMEC and she came through for me ๐๐พ
I just finished writing my personal statement for
#ERAS2024
and feel like weights have been lifted off me. This was undoubtedly the most intimidating part of my whole application, but Iโm super proud of how it came together. ๐
Haydar is one example of how resilient and determined IMGs are. Super proud of all the IMGs who are/have gone through transitioning into the U.S. medical system. You worked hard to become a Doctor and that will never be taken away from you.
With residency interviews predominantly still being online, audition rotations have provided so much insight on what I need/want in a residency program. Seeing how different programs operate has been so interesting.
Still reminiscing over

@SNMA
I asked why he was now studying for Step 1 again, he replied โI have a daughter who just started college, I want to set a good example for herโ. 10 years after his last attempt at Step 1, heโs back in the library.
Haydar is an IMG who switched to software engineering after several attempts at passing Step 1. He successfully completed Step 2 CK and CS but Step 1 was what kept him from applying to a U.S. residency program.
Had an amazing time at
@SNMA
โs National Leadership Institute. Leaving feeling grateful to be equipped with the necessary tools to be a successful student leader. Undoubtedly working with the best group of visionaries this administrative year.
To witness match season is amazing, but to be a part of it is an entirely different experience. Congratulations class of 2024. Itโs our time ๐พ๐ฅ

@medgradwishlist
Another painful reminder why medical institutions need to do better for our interns and residents. Rest in perfect peace Dr. Nakita Mortimer ๐๐พ๐ฅบ๐๏ธ
This loss has been a harsh reminder that
"checking in on your strong friends" isn't enough.
We need systemic and institutional changes to support our medical trainees who are struggling.
We feel such a fire to continue to fight for change. To fight like Nakita fought...
@drlavsmd
Just finished my first FM subi!! I truly appreciated when the residents took the time to go over my patient notes with me. Getting feedback in real time was super helpful. Also loved having dedicated โteaching timeโ to go over specific topics.
Thereโs power in the tongue. I sent out my sub-internship apps later than I wanted to due to my very recent found love for
#familymed
. Still I shot my shot at many top programs. After weeks of silence I prayed & told myself that I would start getting offers this week. Look at God
My social media TLs are all completely filled with graduation photos of people celebrating their accomplishments and Iโm loving every second of it!!!!Congratulations class of 2022 ๐๐๐พ๐
Just finished taking my last shelf exam of this semester. To think this time next year Iโll be interviewing for my first job as a doctor ๐ฅน

Mentorship really is a crucial aspect of growing in whatever field youโre in. Even if you can do things on your own, think of how much easier it can be with having mentors in your circle.
I cannot underscore the importance of having mentors who believe in your potential. I am forever grateful for mine. The grace they continue to show me, truly leaves me speechless. I will not take it for granted.
Todayโs my first scheduled rest day during dedicated period of board prep and I have to actively tell myself that Iโm not falling behind on studying by choosing to take a self-care day. How do you fight this guilt

๐ This photo speaks volumes!! Absolutely beautiful. If you do decide to use it, Iโd love to know what type of comments you receive from admission boards if itโs discussed.
Thankful for these sub-I rejections because they really motivate me to improve my application for residency. Humble reminder that thereโs still work to do to get to where I want to be.
#MedTwitter
Congratulations to all who matched and all who are yet to match!!! Making it through med school is not an easy thing. Just getting to this point is something to be proud of. Canโt wait to address you all as doctor

The New Year starting on the first day of the week makes my type A self so happy. Literally the perfect sign for a reset. Excited for what this year is going to bring. ๐ซ
My level of productivity on planes is insane. The amount of work Iโve gotten done on planes flying back and forth during this sub-internship season is shocking.
Like now I know the solution to putting off writing related taskโฆ.buy a plane ticket ๐
Still not over this sea of excellence ๐ Whatโs even more amazing is this doesnโt even capture half of the student presence at AMEC 2023. Grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the Convention Planning Team to help put such an amazing conference together ๐ซ
To those who attended
#AMEC2023
โ Thank you!
All of you made this a successful conference & truly embodied brilliance. As we depart and travel back to cities across the country we hope you left inspired & ready to continue the mission of the SNMA.

My PCP who it took me monthsss to find just told me that sheโll be leaving the clinic to be a full time faculty at the local med school. Tried to convince her not to leave me and she replied โI need to leave to create more doctors like usโ ๐ฅบ
