From barely a 3.0 Undergrad GPA and <10 percentile MCAT, to induction into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Medical Honor Society. Life’s a trip, and I’m super humbled that I get to be a part of it. #OrthoTwitter #MedTwitter

Y’ALL: lemme tell you about all the places that rejected me for residency… then invited me for fellowship… & now invite me to give Grand Rounds & Visiting Professorships! šŸ’ŖšŸ½ Remember: #Match2022 rejections aren’t personal. You’re #StillDope!! And delayed is not denied. āœŠšŸ½

I remember a mentor I had told me I’ll never get into medical school. During my residency interview today the PD told me ā€œYou have the most outstanding LORs I have ever seen and everyone said you’re one of the best med students they’ve worked withā€ 🄺I cried- after my interview

#MedStudentTwitter – what were some of the expected and unexpected expenses that you encountered during your fourth year and the transition to residency? Things like Step 2 CK registration, ERAS expenses, moving costs, etc… Tyler Olson, EA Inside The Match

One of the greatest reminders of why becoming a doctor was worth the stress and tears: hearing a Mexican mom say "I'm glad my doctor speaks a language that I can understand." #RepresentationMatters #MedTwitter #SiSePuede #firstgen

Mentors who were comfortable in their own skin & unapologetic in their mission to advance equity gave me courage to pay it forward. As a #firstgen physician, I know how it transformed me. I educate to offer trainees the same. #RepresentationMatters First Gen, MD #MedEd
