My complete journey. Every move was calculated. Every step was ordered. Head always been high to the finish. I saw it through. Officially Dr. Rachel D. Porter, DMD.

In 3rd grade I had my teacher look up how to spell “anesthesiologist” because that was going to be my future career. That goal was finally accomplished! Thank you to all who supported me and the best classmates! ⁦⁦⁦ECU Brody School of Medicine⁩ Whitney Melvin, MD

Saying these goodbyes is by far my least favorite part of the last 4 years. So thankful for Howard University and my HUCM family 🥺♥️

Got a chance to surprise my grandma before I leave for residency. She couldn’t go to my graduation, but I think this might’ve been better❤️

Day 1 of being back in the hospital and I’ve introduced myself as student Dr. Lewis way too many times lol

What should I prioritize right now as a new intern starting in the ICU? I feel like there’s so much that I don’t know & need to learn (workflow,EMR, new patients,general knowledge). Where is the best place to start? #medtwitter

4th hour of internal medicine rounds

Y’all tell us we don’t need to know anything coming into first year then make fun of us for not knowing anything. Naah, y’all not right. 😩😅

Working on a Sunday makes Monday feel like at least Wednesday 🫠

Haven’t tweeted in a little while but my residency update (almost 2 months as Dr. Lewis) is that EKGs don’t totally scare me anymore & aren’t just squiggly lines I pretend to understand!!(far from being a pro & still a ways to go). Some days are harder than others, but we move!

After 3 years, I finally got the chance to go home to my sweet island for a much needed 2 week break. It was the perfect way to spend my birthday, and recharge after the first 3 months of residency. Truly no place in the world like TnT 🇹🇹

Make sure you tune into the Ace your Interviews Webinar hosted by #futureanesres. The webinar will feature three of our fabulous residents, Drs. Janet Adegboye, Jessica Barnes, Devin Daniels, and our amazing APD, Dr. Michael Banks.

Congratulations to all the optho and uro applicants, especially HUCM so excited for you all!🥰♥️

Nothing humbles me like some UWorld biostats 🥴 like the math is just not mathing

Howard has truly given me a family to last a lifetime! Thankful for the mentorship that Dr. Forrester has provided over the years, even more thankful we were able to give her all the flowers she deserves 💐💐 #hucm #howardfamily

Happy Match Week to those who celebrate 🥰
