This thread is for those starting residency and intern year. As I reflect back on my journey and these tips, I didn’t follow many of them myself and wish I had. Below I provide my perspective of residency and survival tips. 🧵 Image 1/The reality of residency - it is a wild 🎢 ride. It’s not just about medical knowledge and patient care—it’s about resilience, adaptability, and maintaining work-life balance. But, it’s more fun than med school!

‼️Anesthesia residents‼️- this thread shows my tips for studying for #anesthesia boards and in-training exams. Hope you find this 🧵 helpful! 1/ TrueLearn is the best platform but I recommend using this more as a “testing” tool, rather than a “studying/learning” tool. This allows you to really assess your knowledge closer to the exam. Also redo questions that you got incorrect. Image

#MedStudents, #Residents, #Fellows, and #Research Trainees - I recently had both a resident and fellow ask me how I got involved in research and published when I was a #trainee. I thought I would share my tips and advice in this thread. #MedTwitter #ACGME #MedStudentTwitter 1. Ask yourself👉what you want from this? To pursue research as career? To boost application for #residency #fellowship #employment? To get a recommendation letter? Regardless, aim for #publication (most value). Conference talks are cool, but publications stay on CV forever!
