Right! How dare they have different uniforms, whole team should wear the same thing
I don’t care how the NFL spins it...this isn’t cool.

Not even 2 whole weeks into intern year and everything they say seems to be true. Especially being off service, I feel like such a burden 😭

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Rising 4th year tip: Make a separate email for ERAS/Thalamus. Forward it to someone you trust (I had mine texted to my husband). Give them your Thalamus login and tell them to schedule if you don’t reply in 5 min. Timing matters and it can get hectic fast!!!

The minimum wage should be a number that, if you work at that wage for 40 hours per week, you’re able to afford housing, healthcare, and groceries. That’s not a radical belief.

I it’s totally fine to apply with 1 sloe and add a second one later after apps open on Oct 1st. This advice hasn’t changed for 20 years.

I put shark week under my hobbies and it was the first question/comment in almost every single interview!
Underrated ERAS Hack: Your hobbies/interests are one of the MOST talked about sections on your application! Make it spicy 🌶️ 😸 #MedTwitter #ActionPotentialMentoring
