Dear first-year medical students,
Welcome to medical school — congratulations! You have worked, sacrificed, waited for this moment for many long years, have left blood, sweat, and tears along the tracks of your life marathon. This is the first checkpoint in your journey. You’ve made it. Your loved ones are right here cheering your accomplishments, there are many. That new, freshly-pressed, short white coat makes you look like an absolute stud(ent). It feels incredible. You are incredible. You have chosen a path of remarkable science and humbling servitude. Breathe the sigh of relief that you now have two feet in the front door.
Welcome to the rest of your life.
You have no idea what you got yourself into.
Your patients are rating you online: How to respond. Manage your online reputation: A social media guide. Find out how.
