What you like studying in your didactic years may not be what you like treating clinically 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Keep an open mind when transitioning from the classroom to clinicals! 📚🥼

I lovveeed physiology including renal, pulm, repro, and endo! But I didn’t like the work associated with those specialties. I fell in LOVE with PM&R (physical medicine and rehabilitation, also called Physiatry), which funny enough required all that knowledge I didn’t love studying so much from the textbooks. Once I had patients sitting in front of me, those concepts made more sense and now I love those subjects!

What subjects do you/did you like during didactics? What specialty do you think you will go into? Or what did you go into??

Curious to hear your stories!

Had to do this trend 🥰

Joshua and I met through mutual friends. I really wanted to get to know him more, but he was studying for his Step 1 exam (the most important board exam during med school). Sooo I just studied with him 😏😆

And since then we have supported each other through every obstacle in life 💕

Now I am in my 3rd year of residency & Joshua just started his attending job as a hospitalist!

Speaking of - Joshua takes his Internal Medicine boards tomorrow!! Wish him luck! 👨🏾‍⚕️

We did not “sign up for this.”

Sleep deprivation and abuse do not make good doctors. Wellness modules don’t make us well.

Physicians need reasonable hours, more time off, safe patient ratios, and mental health support without threatening our medical license.

Just because you went through it, does not mean others should too.

Physicians have a higher suicide rate than the general population. In fact, it’s double the general population.

28% of residents experience a major depressive episode during training vs. 7% of similarly aged individuals in the U.S. general population.

Last week, Dr. Jing Mai, an intern physician in California, died by suicide. Someone who gave her whole life to help others, had no more to give. We have to stop this from happening. We have to save our doctors.

I have a passion for accessible healthcare, which is why I’m celebrating @NTXGivingDay by supporting @PMRcharity

PMR Charity was founded by my first mentor in physiatry, @dromarselod to provide assistance with medical costs to facilitate recovery. At the heart of physiatry, our goal is to improve people’s quality of life.

Beautifully written by PMR Charity - “We are accessible. Many people experiencing trauma or illness do not qualify under the specific guidelines of other organizations. At PMR Charity, we are here to catch those who might otherwise fall through the cracks.”

How will you celebrate giving on September 22?
