“How did med school prepare you for residency?” It didn’t. It prepared me to take my exams. Being in residency is what prepared me for residency.

My mentor's mentor said something that has stuck with me. "Smarts are dimes a dozen in medicine. Kindness is not. Be kind."

You can do hard things. You will bend, you will shift, you will strain, but if you give it time, you will do the hard thing. And at the end ,you will wonder why you ever convinced yourself you couldn’t do the hard thing, & perhaps it was only hard because you believed it to be.

what has this year taught you?

I regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and always from periods of intense humility (i.e. your ego finally relenting)

Eventually I think the best coping mechanism is a hobby. Your interests will always nurse you back to joy. Reading, writing, playing a sport - find something that brings joy, then spend enough time nurturing it. Rely on it to always help you find your way back.

Don't underestimate the little things. Like remembering a patient was taking a special trip, or had a wedding, or was meeting a new grandchild. Make a brief note in their chart & follow up next time you see them. This helps me hold onto the humanity of my patients, and my own.

Dear new residents, “I didn’t want to bother my senior” “I didn’t want to bother the attending” These are dangerous sentiments. Yes, try to figure issues out, but as a junior, **never be the only one with a critical piece of information**. More often than not, we don’t mind…
