It’s the first week of residency for many incoming residents this week. I remember my first day @usask so vividly: I was so stressed out that I developed tinnitus and asked my senior to examine my ears because I thought I was suddenly becoming deaf. Everyone: take deep breaths.
I have one advice: you are NEVER alone. Don’t ever think that you need to suffer in silence. If you don’t know something, it’s normal! You’re not supposed to know anything: that’s why you’re where you are. No one expects PGY1s to be experts in their fields.
Your co-residents will become your family. You will look after each other. That is so precious and will last your entire career. But also remember that your staff is here for you: you need a shoulder to cry on? You need a hug? You need a warm supper? We’re all over this. Call us.
Finally: you’re got this. You will fail sometimes and that’s ok. We learn together. Welcome to the #peds family, R1s. I’m excited to start working with you. #tweetiatrician #MedEd
