Hard to see things like this..
Proud to be a DO candidate and proud to see strong advocacy.
Programs have every right to reject medical students based on merit, but they have no right to reject because they are pursuing a DO degree. Residency programs are ran by ACGME funds, which is now training body for MDs AND DOs. These programs will face serious repercussion soon.

On my first Sub-I in IR..
- *every* resident was more concerned about if I ate
- getting me to leave as the day was winding down & assuring my overachieving anxiety it’s ok to leave “early” 😂
- Teaching me so many new things AND being patient with all of my questions 🥹
Quote this tweet with a positive moment you’ve had with a resident or med student lately.

When the ECMO team on standby in the room GASP with the first clot haul, vitals return to normal 5 min later, and the CT surgeon says “looks like you don’t need me anymore” you know you’re doing something right. This right heart was on the brink of failure. Another life saved!
