I had the unique privilege to help orient the early graduating med students today. I recall the days leading up to my 1st day of intern year were fraught w paralyzing anxiety. But these are different times...

...where unknowns, fears, and potential personal harm is layered on top of those typical intern jitters. And yet 3 brave newly minted interns sat in front of me today, raising their hands to volunteer themselves to be shoulder to shoulder in the mud with us on the front lines...

And I couldn’t be prouder. Please think of them and all us healthcare workers as we fight this invisible enemy together. Stay home. Socially distance. Mask up. Wash your hands. We all play a part.
