Tips for New Docs (and other lessons learned from intern year 😉) 1. When on call running shoes are a must! I’m not sure how the chiefs manage to walk so fast but running shoes will help you keep up.

Because I've had the honor to witness my co-residents-turned-family say "I do" to the loves of their lives!

Because we put aside any rivalry, big (yes, even for patients from that school down south) or small, aside to take care of our patients. The pride I feel in the care we provide our patients is unmatched. #WhyUMichSurgery #ForeverGoBlue Michigan Surgery Brooke Bredbeck MD MS

Because this is what my Saturday morning hike looked like! I hop in the car and within minutes I’m in one of Ann Arbor’s 163 parks. Can’t get enough of #AnnArbor‘s beauty! #PureMichigan #WhyUMichSurgery #OptOutside

Because of all the microbreweries in Michigan! We’ve made it to over 160 of the over 280 breweries in the state! What a great way to explore the mitten and all the hops it has to offer! Hit me up for recommendations! #WhyUMichSurgery ⁦Brooke Bredbeck MD MS⁩ ⁦Michigan Surgery⁩

Because our residents are prepared to care for the sickest CoVID pts 2/2 our excellent critical care/ICU training. PGY1-2 residents participate in a comprehensive Critical Care Summer Camp lead by the incredible Dr. Napolitano. #WhyUMichSurgery Michigan Surgery Brooke Bredbeck MD MS

This was one of the most meaningful conversations I’ve ever had. @SidraBonner is incredibly thoughtful and if Ryan Howard decides he doesn’t want to be chair one day podcasting is in his future. Thank you Annals of Surgery and BehindTheKnife

Because of how family friendly our program is! My 7-person class alone now has 7 spouses and 10 children! I always felt completely supported during my pregnancy and my daughter has been spoiled by my attendings and peers! #WhyUMichSurgery Brooke Bredbeck MD MS Michigan Surgery

We love students who know they want to do surgery We love students who know they want to pursue another specialty But what’s super rewarding is when a student who was unsure about surgery tells you at the end of their rotation they want to be a surgeon 😁 #residencychronicles

If you know me well, you know that I love a good rant. As a med student, I was encouraged to turn my rant into an essay. So thrilled that Health Affairs found this piece worthy of sharing 🙌🏾. This pandemic has certainly been eye-opening for providers at all levels of training.

Every surgeon should read this Complications are very real but most of us arent trained & dont have the resources to process them M&M doesnt count Our jobs are incredibly humbling. We must look out for each other & for ourselves. We must create a system that does this better.

Can’t wait to share our vision on how to optimize resident development and achievement!! #WhyUMichSurgery

The pandemic isn't over & we need to prioritize our trainees' well-being now more than ever! Read our paper in Academic Medicine to learn how we supported our trainees in the spring and continue to do so now! (journals.lww.com/academicmedici…) #MaskUp #WhyUMichSurgery #MedTwitter #MedEd
