Interviews, POCUS, and Freedom | Weekly Newsletter

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader - I hope you're having a restful Sunday! This week, I'm dropping ALL the tea on my residency application cycle + life as a fourth year med student!

Before we dive in, if you have applied to medical school this cycle, please take 2-3 minutes to complete this Mid-Application Cycle Feedback form.

Let's get into it!

What's New with You?

Last week, I started my Emergency Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) elective. In the mornings, I watch pre-recorded ultrasound lectures, and in the afternoons, I do "scan shifts" with emergency medicine residents and fellows in the emergency department. I am still struggling with all of the views and details, but I am starting to get better at recognizing and understanding what I'm seeing on the ultrasound!

In other news, I hit a huge milestone in residency interviews! I finished my last virtual interview. I still have one more to wrap up interview season, but it will be in person in a few weeks.

Before interviewing, people told me that all of the programs would start to run together in my brain...and they were right! But luckily, I've been keeping a running rank list + recording "reaction" videos immediately after each interview. It still seems surreal that I will be a WHOLE doctor in 2026, but I am excited to see where The Match and next year takes me.

Until then, I am enjoying the luxuries of being a fourth year medical student! I am traveling this week to visit some family for Thanksgiving then escaping the NYC winter weather for a Caribbean cruise shortly after.

I hope you have a wonderful, delicious food-filled Thanksgiving holiday! Chat soon!

- Morgan :)

Hi Reader, I hope you're having a restful weekend! Let's dive into this week's updates and tips. What's New With You? My social calendar was packed to the brim this week, which was unusual for me as an introvert who relies on my alone time to recharge. Monday, we hosted a Galentine's Day celebration with a pasta bar, lots of sweet treats, and trinket decorating. It was so fun getting my girls together and catching up! Tuesday, my friend hosted a Lunar New Year dinner. I learned how to make...

From Rank Lists to the Cooking Lab 🍳 | Weekly Newsletter

Hi Reader, I hope you're having a restful weekend! Let's dive into this week's updates and tips. What's New With You? The past two weeks have been busy, and life is only getting busier! I started a Culinary Medicine elective at the beginning of February. It's an interdisciplinary course with medical students and registered dietitian students. Twice a week, we cook new, healthier, plant-based meals. I am such a picky eater and stray away from trying new things, so it has been a great way to...

HELLO February | Weekly Newsletter

Hi Reader, I hope you're having a restful weekend and staying warm! Let's dive into this week's updates and tips. First day out after the snow. First stop? Starbucks! What's New With You? This week was very much an inside week because we got so much snow last weekend. I kept looking out my window, and the idea of tackling all of that snow (without snow boots) did not sit well with my soul. I finally ventured outside on Tuesday, and have been doing some mini hot girl walks and trying new...
