Dear #MedTwitter, Let's please acknowledge that this day, specifically this morning, is a moment in time that's joyful for some and barbaric for others as amazing applicants learn of their match status Let's please lend support and encouragement to each other #MatchDay2023

The mindset Mayo Clinic General Surgery Residency is: "This is YOUR training, but it is OUR program" Welcome amazing surgeons-to-be to a supportive place where one person's success is all of our success and where colleagues run to load the boat when the waters get rough. #WeAreUs #Match2023 #MedTwitter

Dear Unmatched Applicant, If you're taking part in the scramble, keep it going! Things are still moving 1-look at inventory of open spots frequently 2-apply, apply, apply to all possible 3-seek support from your mentors, PD's, other staff contacts 4-stay hopeful #MedTwitter

Dating back to our humble roots as classmates Temple Med School no one is more passionate about caring for patients than @jeffreyfarma Innovative, compassionate and dedicated.....he is a role model's role model. Fox Chase Cancer Center patients are fortunate. Congratulations.

Dear Rising PGY1: I'm asked all the time what is the secret to success for residency transition. So many important qualities,but as PD the foundation to build is: Self-motivation: go after opportunities Effort: don't let anyone outwork you Feedback: how to improve #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (installment #2): Keeping your WHY in the forefront is important.....but remember to keep in mind your WHO WHY you're doing this is different than for WHOM you're doing it 1- Service-oriented for patients 2- Supportive to colleagues 3- Kind to YOU #MedTwitter

Dear #Unmatched Applicant: Never. Give. Up. 👇 #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (installment #3) ATTITUDE trumps aptitude. We can teach skills, we can't teach character Be hungry, be humble, prepare, put in effort, seek feedback, value everyone, be curious, be teachable, provide a service Develop your internal standard! #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (#4) Be PUNCTUAL Tardiness decays reliability & hints at inefficiency Trick yourself: if conference or rounds start at 7 AM, plan to show at 6:50 Give yourself a Cushion! I tell my trainees "if you're 4 min early, you're actually 6 min late #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (#5) You may feel inefficient in the beginning. That is NORMAL and OKAY! Have a kind inner voice and try not to tell yourself you don't belong. YOU DO! Seek to improve your system each day. Turn tasks into a routine. This happens little by little. #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (#6) PATTERN RECOGNITION Occurrences repeat themselves, both in isolation or in combination Actively observing and noting your surroundings develops your INSIGHT It's like being able to tell the future (sort of) #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (#7) Your success does not have to come at the expense of others. Quite the opposite, INTERDEPENDENCY can be a true asset during training Appreciating the contributions of others opens up an entirely different potential for collective achievements #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (#8) This a stressful time. Now and ongoing, perform self check-ins SELF AWARENESS is critical for long-term success & it's often neglected Address areas of concern, especially well-being. If YOU are not good, little else can be good #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (#9) It's perfectly OK to say "I don't know" You'll strive to do a great job, but we're all human. We make mistakes. We forget things Your staff & seniors will accept errors during learning. Lying or not taking accountability will tarnish integrity #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (#10) You'll encounter patients & families inappropriately labeled as "difficult" or "high maintenance" Remember that no one WANTS to be a patient. Remember that they're often in pain & scared. They're hurting Respond to the pain, NOT the behavior #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (#11) You won't always agree with everyone and not everyone will always agree with you This is OKAY Find value in everyone's contribution LISTEN with the intent of understanding rather than simply HEARING to ready a response #MedTwitter

Dear Rising PGY1 (#12) If you're called to see a patient, SEE THE PATIENT! You may be annoyed or question why at times, but someone is worried or has a question. Keep the patient in mind "The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered" (WJM) #MedTwitter

The program Mayo Clinic General Surgery Residency is in amazing hands with Mariela Rivera, MD As PD, I hope my trainees felt I truly worked for THEM I cared I had their back I didn't waver in support I put them first I prepared them for launch I hope I left things better than I found them #MedTwitter

We all had a "first day" once. All of us! July is often heralded as "frustrating" or "dangerous" because of new trainees starting Let's keep perspective & show them patience and support The more effort we put into these stars, the faster they will be up to speed #MedTwitter
