Now that intern year has officially ended and I’m settling into my second year of residency, I thought that I would start a blog to help promote who I am, how I have gotten here, and just generally how to be happy! I hope to be posting weekly to biweekly to keep everyone up to date on new medical advances and just general life advice from my perspective. I hope that this blog shows that you do not need to be perfect in order to achieve a happy, balanced, and successful life.
