Objectively the best part of this job 🥰

Genuinely one of the best parts of residency so far has been also being a part of STARs! ✨. Join us! DM me if you have any questions 🥰.

Cheers to PGY 1 ✨🩵

Bonus! Be nice to those consulting you! I had WAY too much fun with the ED last month as a night float intern 😂. @pjtomaselli.

10) Enjoy the ride! Be patient with yourself and keep at it with those around you. This is ultimately such a transformative year and despite the hard moments will also have so many more rewarding ones!

9) Lean on eachother — I spent many days talking to my co residents, fellows, and attendings about tough cases. There have been no shortage of people who have leant ears and hugs to me this year. I am so lucky to be at a place where people checked on me very frequently!.

8) Take care of yourself — this is going to be a crazy and amazing year. But it’s hard! Keep your hobbies (I took dance classes again!). Go for a walk. See your family and friends when you can (or call them on the phone!)

7) The patient is your best teacher. Sit and spend some time talking to them. Their cases helped to guide my reading and studying (both in the OR and on the floors)

6) SEE THE PATIENT!. For example, do not fall into the trap of reflex ordering more and more pain meds for a patient whose prescribed ones aren’t working for their abdominal pain without doing a physical exam to make sure they suddenly aren’t peritonitic when they hadn’t been!

5) My nurse friends are some of the BEST! They got me through night float, we order snacks together, and we work through problems together. If you get an epic chat and a nurse has a concern, go talk to them & the patient. It’s then where we have solved problems as a team!.

4) Treat everyone in the hospital with respect and kindness. Again - Treat everyone with respect and kindness. And to piggyback on that ⬇️.

3) Take every piece of feedback — people have varying ways of giving feedback (realtime vs after), but at the end of the day, the person giving you constructive feedback has 1) been in your shoes or 2) has worked with enough residents that they have wisdom to help you grow ☀️.

2) Develop your organizational strategy for the day when it comes to notes and ordering labs. This was the video I watched last year and strategy that worked for me!.

1) Ask questions! As @micaelacollins told me really early, there are no dumb questions as an intern. This is the time to be interested and bridge those gaps that you had been wanting to ask as a student or come up as you develop your patient care strategies

It’s June 1! And at my hospital that means our interns get started on the floors in 20 days! So here are a list of things many of us learned this year just being an intern (in any specialty!) 🤓

No better way to break up night float than to stop by @SurgInfxSoc. It was remarkable to see some of the amazing science being done by leaders in the field 🧬. My only mistake was not getting the selfie with @SurgEdMD 😂

Medical students - we hope this helps provide you a starting point to thrive on your surgery rotation! 🌟. So thankful to @ariananaaseh and @nmmott for being nothing short of supportive as we put this together!.
