This blog has connected me with so many incredible individuals over the years, and it let me know the importance of sharing our stories. I am grateful for the many people and classmates who helped babysit so that I could make it to the lab and thrive as a medical student. Looking back, it has literally taken a village though!

If you’re a 4th year medical student who is unmatched at this point, my advice is the following: Focus on securing a one year preliminary or transitional year position! Even if you had your heart set on a particular specialty, at this point, making sure you graduate with a JOB should be of utmost importance.

I think the first time I noticed it was, like as a medical student when you would rotate on one service with one attending and they would make decisions about how to treat a case one way. And so the control room is a contiguous room, but the individual rooms where the patients, the actors and the doctors are separated by a wall.
