Of course not. You want to excel.

But most of the books…

most of the websites…

and nearly everyone you talk to out there…

They all seem to warn you about what a disaster your internship and residency can be. They speak of grueling nights on-call; rarely, if ever, seeing your family and friends; and getting utterly embarrassed by attendings in front of everyone. They worry you with talk of malpractice, needle sticks, medical errors, and boards preparation.

Well, it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, it isn’t this way. I should know… I’ve been there…

And I’ve posted some videos to help you to have success in your internship and residency. Just go to this tips and pearls for residency video to start.
