After the Match, MS4s have a LOT of personal decisions to make. #MATCH2025 Tuesday, April 1st from 3-7pm EST 4 hours jam packed with financial education - just what graduating med students need to prepare for residency! It’s free! And you’ll walk away with actionable advice!

Our facial plastic & reconstructive surgery team addresses the reported side effect of midfacial volume changes associated with the weight-loss drug, semaglutide. This study is one of the first quantitative assessment of this phenomenon. #MedicalResearch …-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oh…

So far I think my favorite thing about prepping ERAS applications is that my mom thinks signals are called “winks” she goes “so how many programs do you get to wink at??” 😭🤣

Highly recommend having a best friend who is an audiologist that you can send unlimited ear questions to and they have to respond🙂

Full circle moment …I started my breast surg onc rotation today, and the visiting resident was finishing her intern year when I started my gen surg clerkship as my first 3rd year rotation. Now she’s applying for fellowship, and I’m applying for residency!
