Jun 29, 2020

The first year of residency is one of the most difficult, stressful, and awkward times of growth as a physician.

• The first time someone uses the word "doctor" to address you.
• The first time you run a code.

So how in the world do you survive what's known to be one of the hardest years of training?

For this special episode series, I asked some amazing doctors to share their BEST advice for new interns.
