  • It’s finally beginning to sink in. It’s so surreal to dream of something your entire life and to have that dream become a reality😭 I remember when I was 8 years old at my parent’s nail salon, talking to a customer and her asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said Doctor. That little girl had no idea what she’d have to overcome in this chosen path. This journey has not been easy by any means. All the breakdowns, hurdles, moments of hopelessness, feeling lost, and uncertain. There were times where I questioned whether I could make it through. And I did. I made it through. To make your dreams become a reality is such a blessing, but none of it would be possible without the support of my loved ones. My parents for supporting me through all my decisions despite having hesitations about studying abroad or taking a gap year or deciding to move across the country for med school. My fiancé for all the late night FaceTime study calls, listening to me ball on the phone, buying food & boba while I was studying for MCAT/board exams. My friends for giving me pep talks and reminding who I am and what I’m capable of. And all the people along the way who’ve supported me and given me sound advice. We did it🥹 ⚠️Warning: lower volume for last video. Raw footage contains high-pitched scream. #match2023 #residency #studentdoctor #medstudent #medstudentlife #premedmotivation #doctor #psychiatryresidency #psychiatry #femaledoctor #firstgeneration

  • It’s official. I MATCHED today😭 I’m going to be a psychiatrist. It’s such a crazy feeling. All the years of hard work and obstacles that have been overcome to find out this morning that I got my first job as a doctor🥹 I don’t know where yet, but at least there’s relief in knowing I’m going to train somewhere! Congrats to all my colleagues that made it this far! What a wild ride. To those who didn’t match, good luck with SOAP and I am keeping positive thoughts and sending love and light✨ Thank you for following along my journey and for all the prayers, love and support throughout this entire process. Stay tuned to find out where… #MATCH2023 #medstudentlife #medstudent#doctor #femaledoctor #psychiatrist #studentdoctor #premedmotivation #residency #residentdoctor #firstgendoc
  • Residency app update💕 Today, residency applicants rank list is due! Rank list is certified☑️ and now, its the waiting game until Match Day! When an applicant enters the national residency match program and certifies their rank list of residency programs, it’s a binding commitment to accept a position if a match results. An algorithm determines our fate when we submit this list and so unpredictable! Good luck to all applicants this year! Its been a WILD interview season! May the algorithm be in your favor🙏🏽✨ #residency #residencymatch #medstudent #medstudentlife #medicalstudent #medicalschool #medschool #residencyinterview #medicine #studentdoctor
  • February camera roll💕 Last week, I finished my last in-person interview for the 2023 residency app season! This month was filled with date nights, time with loved ones, wedding planning, physical health and achievements🎉 Looking forward to what March has in store! #medstudent #medstudentlife #studentdoctor #residency #residencyinterviews #california #valentinesday #datenights #beach #premedmentor #research #researchpublication #medschool
  • Life lately. Wrapping up my ambulatory clinical rotation in Family Medicine. And realizing it’s been 8/9 months since I’ve worked on a medicine unit. My mind has been filled with psychiatry for the past 6 months. It’s crazy how quickly the general medical knowledge leaves your brain. You use it or lose it… anyone else relate? It’s also the tail end of interview season and still have a few more interviews to go + wedding planning. Match Day cannot come any sooner! #medicine #medicalstudent #medstudentlife #studentdoctor #medicalschool #medicalstudents #premedmentor #premedlife #premedmotivation #nursingstudent #nursinglife
  • Residency Application Timeline - 2023 💠August - Begin working on supplemental application due mid-September. Not all specialties have a supplemental, but psychiatry did this year. Applicants can list regional preferences, top 5 experiences, urban vs. rural preferences, and signals. Signals were a new feature this year where an applicant can signal up to 5 programs that they are interested in. Whether or not programs actually took these into account is program-dependent. 💠September - Wrap up all components (position descriptions, publications, letter of recommendations) of your main electronic residency application system (ERAS) due end of September! 💠October - Interview invitations can begin rolling in as early as the day of ERAS submission. Some programs have a secondary application that should be turned in ASAP. I would also begin sending out letters of interest as well. They can definitely make a difference. 💠November to February - continue sending out letters of interest and attending interviews. 💠February - start making your rank list. This year it’s due March 1, 2023. 💠March - The BIG DAY! On a Monday, applicant’s find out whether or not they have matched into a program and on Friday, we find out exactly which program we matched to.

  • Circa 2018 when I found out I got accepted into med school!🤭 Crazy to think that MATCH Day is only a few months away! I remember applying to med school just wishing & praying to get accepted somewhere, anywhere. Here we are 4 years later🙏🏽 To any pre-meds applying this cycle, good luck on your interviews and start emailing programs letters of interest if you haven’t heard back! You got this🙌🏽 #medstudent #medstudentlife #studentdoctor #premed #premedmentor #premedmotivation #premedlife #premedadvice #premedstudent
  • How to set up your 4th year schedule 🏥 I would begin making a list of residency programs you’re interested in doing rotations at along with the medical student or program coordinator’s contact info. Some programs will ask you to apply through the “visiting student learning opportunities” portal or their own individual application. It’s good to reach out earlier than later! Get on the waitlist/interested students list now. And if they tell you it’s too early and reach out later, add it on your calendar of “things to do”. Save for future reference🌟 Any questions about 4th year?
