Yesterday I finished my first PM&R month as a resident physician 🤗 and I am so happy. Oh how I missed it - hadn’t done a PM&R rotation since 4th year med school! I was on the consult service, so I got to see a huge variety of patients!

The first year of PM&R residency is focused on building a strong foundation in medicine. So most of our months are off-service — for example, we work on inpatient medicine, neurology, rheumatology, geriatrics, orthopedics, etc. Then, starting 2nd year of residency, we work in all different aspects of PM&R! That’s when we really get to dive in.

Getting back into the PM&R world this past month was the best 🥺😍 There is nothing like being reminded that you chose the right career ✨ I love my job.

✨ Tagged some PM&R accounts/resources on this picture for those interested in the field!✨

Thankful that you can flush a toilet with melted snow 😂 Just thankful for a lot of things 🤍

Happy Valentine’s Day to the man who always lend

Happy Valentine’s Day to the man who always lends me his jacket (even when he told me to bring my own bc he knew I’d need it and I didn’t listen) 💕

Nothing that lasts is accomplished quickly. For me

Nothing that lasts is accomplished quickly. For me, it’s been a lifetime of school, sacrifice, tears, and late night study sessions... Half of me knowing I could do anything I put my mind to, but the other half thinking maybe I made the wrong career choice, until I found PM&R. My premed years and MS1/MS2 years of med school were really really hard. I always felt behind, always felt inferior. Maybe I hid it well, or maybe people knew. But I just kept my head down and pushed through.

And boom, here I am now... in the residency program of my dreams, training to be a physiatrist (coolest job ever!) All of a sudden it seems to have happened so fast. It’s easy for me to look back on my journey with nostalgia, to feel like it all happened so simply. Because I’m through the thick of it. Plus, I have a way of looking at my past/the world with rose colored glasses. But for those of you in the thick of it, remember, you can do hard things. This may be rough, but you’re built for it. You will get through. And one day, you’ll get to look back on these rough days with nostalgia, too.
