So ecstatic to match at VANDERBILT for General Surgery!!! I couldn’t have made it here without my mentors, family, and friends - it really does take a village. Next stop - NASHVILLE!

To be rotating at an institution where my attending takes the time to explain every step he’s taking in the OR, talk through patient cases and explain the pathophysiology while simultaneously asking me questions and making sure I’m following along, is the greatest privilege.

I love getting M1s/M2s involved in my ongoing research projects. I remember being an M1 terrified to get involved with research because it was so new to me. Without my mentors, I wouldn’t be here. I’m so glad I can give back the mentorship I have received.

Being a Sub-I in the SICU after having virtually no ICU experience as an M3 is incredibly difficult. Medicine is humbling. Does anyone have any good resources I can use to learn more/improve?

My little sister, who knows I’m interested in colorectal surgery (vs surg onc), just told me not to embarrass her in front of her friends. And when I asked how I could possibly do that, she said “don’t talk about poop okay?”
Does she think that’s all I talk about all day? 😫

Absolutely love Trauma/Surgical Critical Care. My time in surgery so far has been in various surgical oncology heavy fields. This is my first rotation (as an acting intern) rotating in the Surgical ICU. Vanderbilt has been nothing short of incredible.

My favorite way to assess resident autonomy is to ask “what are some surgeries that an average PGY3 or 4 can walk a junior through independently?”
This helps me determine the breadth of autonomy amongst subspecialties as well.

Just completed my second general surgery AI, and I gained so much from my time at The Burn Center at Medstar GUH/WHC. Burn Surgery is incredibly complex, and being able to learn from an incredible team caring for some of the sickest patients was eye opening.

Interventional Radiology - you won’t get the rounding on patients though but you get all the medicine and the quick procedures + imaging if that interests you. If you want the rounding and don’t like imaging, then you could always choose a more procedural specialty after IM

1. Find good mentors early on, especially if you’re considering a competitive specialty. The medical community is small and everyone knows each other. Let them connect you with others. Build a strong network. (1/2)

2. Everyone will have research, scores, etc. when you’re applying. Do what you’re passionate about and that will make you stand out. It’s easy to tell who’s doing something bc they want to and who’s doing it bc they have to. (2/2)

for the procedure. Also make sure you’ve read up in the patient chart so you know exactly why this pt is getting this surgery versus some other intervention. Know relevant anatomy. Most common complications postop. Lastly, watch youtube videos of the surgeries beforehand. (2/2)

Some of the hardest parts of medicine aren’t the things we learn in textbooks. It’s having to tell a patient they have cancer. It’s having those uncomfortable conversations. It’s losing a patient after working so hard to keep them alive. It’s easy to forget that as a med student.
