MD graduate Hend Al-Kaylani shared this advice for future medical students: “The single best thing you can do in medical school is be kind to others — patients, employees, classmates, people you pass in the hospital hallways. Not only is it the right thing to do, but the karma comes back to you in ways you would never expect. When you lift others up, you lift yourself up too.” Hend matched at University of Michigan Hospitals, Ann Arbor, for a preliminary year before she pursues ophthalmology training🩺💛
