Congratulations to new #medstudents starting today!
Look around at the other students in your cohort. These people will become your dearest friends, closest supports & some even lovers.
Together you will take a journey of a thousand miles & today begins with the 1st step!
We ALL remember our 1st day of #medschool. I remember standing outside the school mustering up the courage: ‘You can do this!’
I’d moved to a new city & didn’t know anyone. I was petrified. Guess what? Everyone else was too!
#MedTwitter what was your 1st day of med school like?

New Med Student Tip #3:
Study a little each day, cramming medicine is an oxymoron.
New Med Student Tip #4:
Think critically, always ask why (applies to both medicine & life in general).
New Med Student Tip #5:
Make sure you have a GP! Seriously, if you don’t have one, find one this week! We’re a cool bunch & totally get what it’s like to be a #medstudent.
New Med Student Tip #6:
Make time for hobbies outside of medicine, it’ll make you a better person, learner & doctor.
