When I was in undergrad I had gotten a C in general chemistry—I remember asking for help, tutoring, everything and I didn’t get much help—when I told my ochem teacher she said I wouldn’t make it to med school among other things. Well, Dr. X, I made it.

Week 1 of residency lessons I learned: 1) when in doubt ask. Always. 2) caffeine is a requirement 3) my coresidents are truly the best.

The amount of support from my program and coresidents as I mourn the loss of the one person who got me through medical school has been reassuring, astounding, and has made this process so much easier. This definitely has me thanking the universe for placing me at UH

I have such a fear I’m not doing enough as a sub-I; I offer to write notes, and do anything to help but I still feel like it isn’t enough for a 4th year rotation? Not that there isn’t enough work but it’s making me worried am I noticing enough?? 🫠

Explained how expensive medical school (esp 4th year) can be to a non-medicine person and their shock was understandable I don’t know how, but the amount of money that it requires does not favor first gen students/ students with no aid from family etc

No matter the circumstances of how you grew up, or the circumstances surrounding working towards your MD— you CAN do it. It won’t be easy, but whatever you do don’t give up. Your story matters more than you know. Be the you, younger you needed to see.
