Finished!!! Residency!!!!

Guys I'm proud to say residency is done. I can't believe it. Time sure does fly.

It was not an easy journey. High school, undergrad, medical school, masters, residency and now I get to work in the profession that i love, doing what I love.

Whats next for me?
For now, The plan is to work in Urgent Care.

Then, with whatever free time I have I will try to make videos to help people also get into residency. I have created a youtube channel! The first video was released on thursday. Go like and subscribe to my video. Hopefully it helps you guys.

Almost finished!!!

Almost finished with what?

With RESIDENCY!!!!

There are just a few wks left.

Whew. Looking back it has been quite a journey just to get to where I am now. Getting into residency was tough after medical school, and it was a very bumpy ride, fraught with multiple rejections/multiple attempts at matching.

I've decided to create a YOUTUBE page dedicated to giving advice on matching into residency. I'll launch it some time in July. I'll post a link here around that time. Stay tuned.

And of course, to those of you that have matched good luck in residency!! It is tough journey but worth it. Have fun.

Almost PGY-3

Whew! Time sure flies.  It wasn't too long ago that I had to master the application process in order to match. Now in just a few months I'll be in my third year.  I've learned a lot and grown a lot.  Can't wait till I start 3rd year. For those of you who are about to start the journey as interns work hard and all will be fine. 

2018 in review

Hey guys!!!

What a year its been. I'm currently a second year in residency. Time is flying😱😱. Its crazy. Looking back on three other things I did last year and on my goals I notice I was able to accomplish at least half of my resolutions!! Not too shabby right! Here are my 2018 goals in review.

My goals for this year are

      1 )      HIT 400’s in the ITE exam. I got a 370 and that was with no studying.

   - nooope. Did not hit it. I did worse actually, 340😭😭. However I felt that most of the  multiple choice questions had answers that were intentionally and unnecessarily close. Like hey what do you do in sepsis give fluids over 3 hours or 30 minutes... With my luck I picked the wrong choices. Still I know what to work on.  

      2)     Read 6 books. I tried to read more than a book a year, however, that didn’t pan out in 2017 because of my busy schedule. 6 books a year is not too bad and it will be more than the 3 books I read last year.

    CCCHHHEECCK. Done. I read way more than 6 and even listened to a while bunch of audio books. The total is about 21 or so.

      3)      Volunteer work. I want to volunteer. I did look for different sites where I can volunteer maybe in a soup kitchen but all these places required you to fill out all these forms. I put it off till next tiem and the next time never came. I will try to get on it this time.
-  - CHECKKKKK. I did go to a fair to represent my hospital. 

      4)      Giving speeches to the youth. I would like to motivate and inspire young minds, to held set them up for a successful life in regards economics/finances/attaining their goals. I’m still trying to figure out how I will get this accomplished.
   - Noooope! 😡

      5)      Blog at between 6 -12 x this year. This bar is really low. Looool. It’ll definitely be cathartic but hopefully serve some value to whoever reads this. 
    - Chheeeccckkkk! This post makes 11!! 💪💪💃💃
      6) Buy an apartment.
    - Checkkkkk!! I got my first property. I'm so happy. Took me a whole year and change of looking to find the right one but I finally got one.

So 4 out of 6 were done. I'm happy with that. Looking forward to 2019.... ... Which is tomorrow😂😂😂. Its been real 2018.

Its always nice when people you give advice to end up matching. Its also nice to tutor people and help them pass their exams.

Its my day off post 24 hour call and all i did was sleep. The night was soo busy and admissions were coming in fast and furious.
