What was the APPE rotation or internship that taught you the most? What lessons did you learn? Did you appreciate it at the time? I was recently reflecting on an internal medicine rotation I had in 2008 at Grandview Medical Center with Dr. Matt Kauflin, PharmD, BCPS. It was the most demanding rotation I had, and the only reason there was a close second was because I spent a month in the NICU and had no clue what I was doing. For this rotation with Dr. Kauflin, I remember the 45-minute commute in the dark early mornings, arriving each day around 5 a.m. and leaving well past 5 p.m., staying with the medical residents to finish rounds. While I’m convinced this rotation prepared me for the boards, the other lessons I learned have stayed with me. To show up on time and be prepared. To be ready to say, “I don’t know, but I’m ready to learn,” rather than talk in circles (and once taught, to make sure to study and remember that in the future because “I don’t know” isn’t an acceptable answer more than once). To understand that, yes, I was a student, but the team depended on me to be there. To realize I was capable of more than I had realized (and that someone else saw more in me than I did in myself). To know that growth comes outside of my comfort zone. To take responsibility for my learning and growth and to appreciate that there is no arrived. These are lessons that no classroom experience could have ever taught me.

#knowyourdentist 5 I can say loudly that the best year of dental college is the internship period! (you might disagree!) Let me tell you why⬇️ ✅ you are confident enough to deal with real patients😎 ✅ you are equipped with all the knowledge needed😇 ✅ no more studies or exams (except the entrance exam for PG, if you wish for MDS)😄 ✅ finally you get a stipend (in government colleges only, mine was a government one)😍 ✅ teachers become friendly and guide you to every step😉 ✅ you are among the senior-most students in the college💪 But as they say, with freedom comes the responsibility: ▶️ you can't make mistakes as your patients are real humans🤭 ▶️ your juniors are watching you, be careful🫡 ▶️ teachers trust you now, behave responsibly🙏 ▶️ this will be the last year with your favourite people and college🥹 ▶️ finally stepping out of student life and surviving in the actual world😱 Nothing in life is permanent, everything good or bad has to come to an end! My advice: Live and enjoy every moment of college life, Kya pta phir se college (if only opt for MDS) jaane ka mauka mile na mile😜 PS: Should I make part 2 of series #knowyourdentist about the PG degree life in different dental specialities? Your honest feedback will guide me in shaping my future posts! Do comment.

I started my internship at one of the largest & busiest hospitals in the country. This post is a culmination of my thoughts & reality-checks that hit me over the past week: 1. Knowledge is King: I entered my internship after clearing my USMLE STEP 1 & STEP 2 with great scores. This gave me a strong solid foundation on clinical subjects that helped me understand what is going in an inpatient setting. When you have knowledge, you easily understand why an investigation was ordered and why so-and-so medicine was prescribed or stopped for a patient. Your eyes can only recognise what the mind knows! 2. Decision Making is Key: The hardest part about medicine is not always diagnosing or prescribing medicines. It is decision making! When it comes to acute settings, a doctor’s presence of mind and courage to take a decision regarding management often draw the thin line between life and death. 3. Everyone is at distress: Everyone in a tertiary care setting is overworked or in distress. The junior doctors, house surgeons, residents, nurses, attenders and cleaning staff are all overworked. The patients & bystanders are at distress. It is too hard to blame a single entity for the failure in patient care when it happens. That’s it for now. #mbbs #usmle #neetpg #usmleaspirants #mbbsinternship #diaryofamedico

No end to woes of FMGs as they continue with unpaid internships Several medical colleges and hospitals have completely abolished the seats for FMG interns, citing lack of funds as the reason The issue of Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) not receiving stipends has been a cause for concern for a long time. Recently, while hearing a writ petition, the Supreme Court directed Medical colleges to pay a stipend to FMG interns, in parity with the domestic MBBS interns. Overlooking the SC observations and NMC provisions, several medical colleges have overlooked this provision, instead, a few colleges have asked the FMG interns to submit authorised affidavits, confirming that they would not demand a stipend during their internship. Also, a few medical colleges have completely withdrawn the seats for FMG candidates. https://lnkd.in/grHVfGK2

We are delighted to highlight the Career Networking Breakfasts at Habs. 🌟 These events have become a cornerstone of our Lower Sixth experience, offering students a unique opportunity to engage with professionals across various sectors. Most recently, students attended an enriching event where esteemed Doctors and Dentists graciously imparted their expertise and experiences to our Lower Sixth students from both schools. Since the inception of these breakfasts in 2018, they have evolved to encompass a spectrum of career pathways. Initially focusing on key areas like Medicine and Dentistry, Law, Finance, STEM and Creative and Media, we have expanded our offerings to include even more diverse fields. This term alone, students will delve into Entrepreneurship, Science and Alternatives to Medicine, Public Sector and Charities, and Degree Apprenticeships – totalling ten enriching sessions for the academic year. We have intentionally crafted these events to depart from traditional lecture formats, instead fostering intimate conversations between students and professionals. By inviting representatives from various careers within each sector, we aim to expose students to a multitude of career paths available, showcasing the flexibility of modern career trajectories. The overwhelming popularity of these events speaks volumes. Visitors consistently remark on the vibrant atmosphere and the students' eagerness to learn and engage. We encourage anyone interested in sharing their expertise and experiences to reach out and join us in shaping the future careers of our students. Let us continue to inspire and empower the next generation together. #CareerNetworking #StudentEngagement #ProfessionalDevelopment #Enrichment #Community #Ambition #ProfoundImpact
