This is the official closure to my residency chapter at Brown. Listen along as 10 anesthesia residents ranging from first years to graduating seniors discuss how their year went. There’s a lot to learn from each of them. As you watch, you’ll hear a common thread woven between their various individual perspectives. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I reached out to these 10 people or sure of myself to actually make this project happen. But as the interviews progressed and I got deeper invested into this project, my smile got bigger and I started to realize I captured something pretty cool.
If you’re interested in medicine/anesthesia or work alongside anesthesia providers, take a listen to hear how trainees develop over the course of 3 years. I couldn’t help but see myself in each of them and at the same time inspired by what made us different.
And if you’re a brand new resident in July, you just started one of the most rewarding chapters of your life. You learn to selflessly give everything you got to your patients while selfishly try to become the best possible physician you can. You will make mistakes and you will achieve things you didn’t realize were coming your way. You will make sacrifices and you will take shortcuts, but before you know it this time in your life will be over and all eyes will be on you when a patient is crashing in front of you.
