Congratulations to the new interns on (almost) completing your first week of residency! Here is a quick 🧵of the lessons I learned during my intern year (1/n).
Officially Nupur N Goel, MD. ⚕️
It takes a village and I have one filled with wonderful and supportive family, friends, and mentors. I cannot wait to take care of 🧠 patients when they are at their most vulnerable. Onto the next chapter!
So incredibly grateful to wake up to this news. I am going to be a neurologist!! 🧠✨❤️
To my fellow
#Match2023
applicants, I hope you are happy with the results and if not, know that you are more than just the algorithm. So excited to call you all colleagues in the future.
Just submitted the most important application with three of the most important people in my lives. Best of luck to everyone as we approach interview season! 🤞🏽🧠🥳
And yes, I did count my dog as a person.

Roughly 1/3 through intern year. ✨ Although my days are long and challenging, the practice of medicine is so beautiful and rewarding. Every day I am honored, and humbled to be Dr. Goel! To my fellow interns, I hope you are also learning to embrace the highs with the lows.
Nearly one year ago I traveled to Boston for the first time when I found out I was interviewing with
@harvardneuromds
. Crazy to believe that I am now six months into residency at the very same program. So incredible grateful for the memories, opportunities, and growth thus far!
Just received my first interview offer from a residency program I am extremely excited about! 🎉🎉 Is this real life??? Feeling proud and immense gratitude for all my mentors along the way. This is because of YOU!

One month down of residency! Just finished my first MICU rotation. Long days and longer nights with so much learning, resiliency and growth. So thankful for my co-interns, senior residents, fellows, and attendings. Onto oncology!

Hi
#MedTwitter
! My name is Nupur Goel. I am current MS4 from Ohio applying Adult Neurology in the 2022-23 cycle. My passions include Stroke and Interventional Neurology. Looking forward to connecting with members of the

#nmatch
community! Good luck to all applying!
My dad always tells me “if you love what you do, you will never a work a day in your life.” I used to roll my eyes and think: “work is still work.” But here I am, about to graduate from medical school, making my rank list, creating a neurology podcast, and loving what I do.
At the start of 2023, I challenged myself to do 23 difficult things. One of those was running a half marathon with no prior history of long distance or running experience. I trained for the last 2 months and finally ran it yesterday. (1/3)
An appreciation post for
@NeurophiliaPod
and
@BlakeBuletko
. One year ago, I had a crazy idea to start a
#Neurology
podcast to combat neurophobia in the medical community. Dr. Buletko signed on to be part of this project first as a guest speaker but then became my co-host instead.
Today marks the one year anniversary of the Neurophilia Podcast! 🦦🎊 In one year we have interviews numerous guests, produced 15 episodes, and grown this platform to 1.1k followers and counting! Thank you for your continued support of our mission to
#EndNeurophobia
.
Starting to appreciate the “diastolic” moments of life and residency. A beautiful sunset, a peaceful walk, the laughter of strangers on the street. So much of life can be lived and celebrated during these brief moments of relaxation and recharge.
Got to show my parents around my "new" stomping grounds this week in Boston, MA.
My heart and stomach are so full.
One more week till the start of residency!

Usually when I close my eyes to say my birthday wish, I typically have a laundry list of things and accomplishments I want or think I need. When I was younger, this meant a new doll to play with and more recently it meant matching into my dream residency program. (1/n)
As my time at

When I met

. I believe we accomplished this and then some. Aaron, thank you for your honesty, passion, and knowledge. Out on 1/29!
I feel so incredibly lucky to start my
#residency
training on
#PalliativeCare
. Every day I get to encounter such resilient, gracious, and beautiful patients. For anyone in medical school or residency, try to find some time to explore the incredible field of palliative medicine!!
Today I had the opportunity to speak at noon conference regarding CMV reactivation and the virus’ immunomodulatory effects as part of the phenomenal Pathways curriculum! Such a fantastic experience. So grateful for my
@mghmedres
peers and unique MGB educational opportunities. ✨
Fourth year of medical school is truly as great as everyone tells you. Doing what you love every day, interviewing with dream programs, and meeting people who share your passions. To those in the midst of the ugly, difficult, and impossible: it gets so much better.
#MedTwitter
Just finalized and submitted my ROL! ✅ 🤞🏽🧠
So thankful for my wonderful and supportive family, friends, and mentors.
To my fellow applicants, riddled by anxiety and doubt: What is MEANT for you, will not MISS you. We got this!

Working an overnight shift at the hospital and went to grab a Starbucks beverage beforehand. Is it so obvious I am going to be a neurologist?!

Hey
#MedTwitter
, any advice on how to optimize post-call/off days? I’m almost one month into residency and trying to create a rejuvenation routine. My focus so far has been the four E’s:
➡️exercise
➡️errands
➡️education
➡️entertainment/enjoyment
Would love to hear from others!
TIP 1: Only compare you to you.
Try not to compare yourself to your peers. Everyone has different areas of expertise based on their interests and past experiences. Learn from others, DON'T compete with them. All that matters is how you compare to yesterday's you.
Could not have asked for a better co-host or mentor. Season Two of Neurophilia is well under way! Make sure you listen 🎧, share with a friend, leave a 5-⭐️ review, and follow

One of the last sentences in my personal statement reads: "Throughout my career, I hope to help dispel 'neurophobia' in the medical community." During one of my residency interviews, a PD asked what my solution was for Neurophobia. My response? Education.
