Never underestimate the power of a first generation student. They are built different and will go very far when given an opportunity. There is a lot more packed into a single person than the average applicant.

Mentors who were comfortable in their own skin & unapologetic in their mission to advance equity gave me courage to pay it forward. As a #firstgen physician, I know how it transformed me. I educate to offer trainees the same. #RepresentationMatters @FirstGenMD #MedEd

One of the greatest reminders of why becoming a doctor was worth the stress and tears: hearing a Mexican mom say "I'm glad my doctor speaks a language that I can understand." #RepresentationMatters #MedTwitter #SiSePuede #firstgen

#MedStudentTwitter – what were some of the expected and unexpected expenses that you encountered during your fourth year and the transition to residency? Things like Step 2 CK registration, ERAS expenses, moving costs, etc… @olsonplanner @Inside_TheMatch

I remember a mentor I had told me I’ll never get into medical school. During my residency interview today the PD told me ā€œYou have the most outstanding LORs I have ever seen and everyone said you’re one of the best med students they’ve worked withā€ 🄺I cried- after my interview

Y’ALL: lemme tell you about all the places that rejected me for residency… then invited me for fellowship… & now invite me to give Grand Rounds & Visiting Professorships! šŸ’ŖšŸ½ Remember: #Match2022 rejections aren’t personal. You’re #StillDope!! And delayed is not denied. āœŠšŸ½
Omg just got my first rejection šŸ˜“. Ngl I shed a tear in the bathroom but I’m reminding myself that this is part of the process and it will all be ok. #WeSTILLGotThis #PedsMatch2022

Connect with the people you meet along the interview trail. They are your future colleagues and maybe even your co-residents.

From barely a 3.0 Undergrad GPA and <10 percentile MCAT, to induction into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Medical Honor Society. Life’s a trip, and I’m super humbled that I get to be a part of it. #OrthoTwitter #MedTwitter

USMLE scores have little to do with the kind of doctor you will ultimately become. These tests do not assess listening skills, empathy, kindness or compassion. Plenty of doctors with low scores are beloved by their patients.
