In the 2022 Match, the proportion of female applicants varied from 24% to 86% across the ten most popular specialties. How much is honest self-selection? Differential access to opportunities or mentors? Discrimination?

Enjoying my 15 minutes of fame after being featured in Saving Grace Animals for Adoption’s March edition of The Paw Print. Isn’t that the absolute best name for a dog rescue newsletter?! #DogsofTwittter

Just did some back of the envelope estimations for upcoming away rotation, residency application, and interviewing costs and uhm…I need a moment. And a side hustle😳🤯

✅ First away rotation secured! It’s happening!! #MedTwitter #orthotwitter

Attended a really interesting lecture today on every doctor or doctor-to-be’s worst nightmare, inflight emergencies! Courtesy of UNC School of Medicine UNC Department of Medicine student chiefs. They recommended checking out airRx. Maybe this will help someone one day!

I can write a grant proposal, submit an IRB, execute a study, and summarize the results (!!within the word limit!!), but come up with the perfect title when it’s all said and done? IMPOSSIBLE!

My husband (an Alabama native) requested that I (a northerner) make fried chicken, collards, mac and cheese, and chocolate cake for his birthday. Safe to say he approved!

Bracket remains perfect!! 1 for 1 let’s go!😂 #MarchMadness

So incredibly impressed by and proud of my classmates at UNC School of Medicine and Duke MBS who were a part of #Match2023. A wildly successful year for these amazing future doctors!

Whoa…Who run the world?😳🥹

In our house, movies and tv shows are judged by their ability to keep me awake. Few have passed the test. But last night we watched Nevalny which recently won an Oscar. Highly recommend!

Music to my last-week-of-research-year ears🌟🙌🥳

How exciting to see our #MedEd project come to fruition! Thanks to Drs. Coe, Koonce, and @GLBDallaghan UNC School of Medicine for letting Ariel and I help show off this initiative!

So amazing to see where these amazing women, some of which I got to meet on the interview trail, ended up! 💜

interview reflections: you will say dumb & cringey things. but you will also surprise yourself with great answers. everyone has off days- you & your interviewers. try to laugh at yourself & the process. reflect and learn from each interview. and above all, give yourself grace
