AMA Annual 2019
I’m sitting at my gate in the airport, and despite trying my hardest to reflect over the past couple of days, it is difficult to put my thoughts into words. But to start: Oh, what a week it has been. The preparation leading up to and during this conference has been challenging. From juggling multiple […]
COSM 2019 was a blast
What an experience. Austin was so fun to visit, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn more about a field I’m interested in pursuing.
Geekin’ out on the Hill with #MARCmadness
Previous Next What a fantastical start to spring break. This past weekend, I was fortunately enough to join some 350+ wonderful people at the Medical Student Advocacy & Regional Conference in Washington, D.C.

Another AMA Meeting Done ✓
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. -Winnie the Pooh Oh, how to put my feelings into words. I guess I can start with my initial hesitation with even joining the American Medical Association, given its history of staunchly conservative views on healthcare. Moreover, after witnessing the 2016 elections […]
I’m really glad I have a snarky filter.
Barista: Your coffee is free, so you can have 2 shots of espresso, or you can even like 4 if you want. Me, internally: My goal today is to study the tachyarrhythmias, not experience them firsthand. Me, externally: Just 2 shots is fine, thanks!
