Second dose of COVID vaccine acquired! Residency interviews are complete so it’s back to the clinics and putting my rank list together!

Last day of Med school clinical rotations complete! Also, residency match list submitted! And now we wait 😁

Woohoo I matched! I cannot wait to become a pediatrician! Looking forward to where on Friday!

Less than 24 hours until match day - the suspense! Best wishes to everyone out there! I can’t wait to find out who my new residency family will be! #Pedsmatch21 #Match2021

Matched to Pediatrics at Boston Children’s!!! My top choice! I can’t wait!! Hooray! @TheBCRP #PedsMatch21

A little apartment hunting/exploring on a beautiful spring day but first a visit to my future workplace and family! I’m so excited! @TheBCRP (excuse my post flight dishevelment)

An energetic, chilly walk today to my other home!

Day 0 and Day 1 of Intern orientation starting strong! N95 fit testing, pre-game picnic in the park and a baseball game at Fenway! I love my co-residents! @TheBCRP

Freedom trail adventure with some co-interns! Nothing like a cannoli, clam chowder, and some history learning

A busy and information-packed day of documentation, billing, and family centered rounding practice - both excited and nervous! Capping the night with a Diversity council mixer and pizza making at the home of the amazing Dr. Bob Vinci . I too aspire to have a pizza oven one day! 😃

Chief Kelly family (aka the Ducklings) picnic with Clear Flour Bakery goodies and my birthday celebration - best group ever! 🦆 🙌

Orientation day 6: learning the EPIC EMR (so. many. clicks.) and procedural training including suturing and LPs - a learn by doing kind of day - the best type of learning IMO

After a wonderful yet arduous PowerChart EMR training session and an exciting intro to my community health center site, a nice bowl of Pho in Dorchester really livens up the day!

A busy day of NRP neonatal resuscitation training and a delicious BCRP Clambake! We saved the simulation mannequin so that’s a win in my book!

When my Sunday starts with panic and uncertainty of the upcoming start of rotations, I only see one outlet: plant buying. Let’s see how long I can keep them alive…

First day of Residency in the NICU! What a whirlwind of a day - it was exciting, humbling, stressful and many times confusing but I have an amazing team that supported me countless times. I learned so much in 12 hrs and can’t wait for the days to come! Babies are the best!

Welcome to the new BWH Dept. of Pediatrics, Division of Newborn Med. Interns! Christina, Ramya, Michael & Cara proudly show off their BrighamNICU swag bags from their 1st day in the NICU, as they navigate the challenges of juggling multiple tiny patients, NICU workflows, doing procedures and running to deliveries!

First NICU 24 hour call and a week of nights of intern year complete - I’m still alive and exhausted but still love what I’m doing!

Spending my day off at the New England Aquarium wondering if I should study penguin physiology instead

Woohoo - glad to be a part of this work!
