Parted ways with my med student badge today, and T-2 days until the MD. The end of an era

Officially Dr. Cornea, MD! I can’t believe this day has finally come. Grateful doesn’t even begin to sum up the feeling, but it will do for now.🩵

Always nice to get out of scrubs. We had so much fun celebrating the holidays!

2023 was a BIG year that saw my transition from medical student to doctor and neurosurgery resident, moving to a new city, doing residency with my best friends, visiting my people back home and traveling the world. 2023, you will be missed. Here's to 2024🥂
