Emily Custer, DO

A year ago I was terrified to start my 3rd year clinical rotations. As an attempt to help the M2s who may be feeling similarly as I did, here’s a thread 🧵 with some tips/resources I found useful this past year: (1/1)

Why does RFK Jr. continue to spread the lie that the HPV vaccine causes cervical cancer when countries around the world have shown its effectiveness in preventing cancers? Because he makes money on lawsuits filed against the HPV vaccine manufacturers. 1/

@BrandonC12231 @YaleVascular @JEFFsurgery @DrBabakAbai @mnooromid @FutureVascSurgn @JeffersonVSIG Yay!! Congrats 🥳

Beyond excited to join the vascular family @YaleVascular !! Incredibly thankful for my mentors at @JEFFsurgery @DrBabakAbai @mnooromid Dr. Salvatore and Dr. DiMuzio #MatchDay2024 @FutureVascSurgn @JeffersonVSIG

The fact is, the match is filled with great candidates, and likewise there are a ton of great places to train. If the algorithm doesn’t go your way, its ok to be hurt, but please take some solace knowing that one day, you will look back and be grateful it worked out how it did.

Congrats and good luck to all MS4s this match week! Can’t wait to welcome those of you who match at Jeff IM 💕💕

Hedgehog trying to destroy everything

According to the AAMC’s Residency Explorer, there are exactly -zero- resident physicians with a DO degree at any of the ‘top 10’ internal medicine residency programs.

I want to be this resident so bad but I too don’t know the answers 😭💀

me to my senior every 10 min for the first 2 weeks of intern year🙋🏼‍♀️❓

Medical interns will be starting their new careers this week. I think it's important for the public to know a few things about our new colleagues: 1) In teaching hospitals, we work as a team; interns ARE physicians who learn by watching, then doing, with graduated autonomy. 1/6

Tips for incoming interns. 🧵 #MedTwitter #Match2023 1. No one expects anything from you in the first few weeks/month. Don’t come in with any notions other than that you are here to learn and you will find your pace. Your only competition is YOU.

@Kev_In_Med @MidwesternUniv @LmsaNational @lmsa_west @LatinxenMed @LatinoBruins @AmericaDoctors @LatinoVoices @USCGlobalMed @KPSanDiego @Sdmeded Congrats, doc!! You earned this moment 😊

First in the family to graduate from College ✅ Grad School ✅ Med School ✅ My parents sobbed when I put my regalia on them. This is theirs. This is their victory day. Two immigrant parents without formal education and now, I’m the first doctor in the family. #firstgen #doctor

@alizas_14 Trust your preparation! You got this. Go for a walk outside if you’re able! Think of something fun you will do after your exam and try to reframe those nervous feelings into excitement for the post-step freedom! Get some sunlight and stretching in the morning of!

Taking step 2 tomorrow! Feeling quite low. Any last minute advice? #MedTwitter

Hey all! I am an incoming first-year black medical student at Howard University! I have to move 13 hours across the country to Washington D.C. and I need help with relocation costs. Please boost & share this link as much as yall can! Thank you so much! 🥰 gofundme.com/f/kqnku8-reloc…

@ditzymed We are way more fun to rotate with too :)

okay no offense to MD med students (i will be an MS1 very soon), but DO students are much funnier on twitter

Emily Custer, D.O.

Questions I asked myself to help me write my personal statement: #Match2024 #medtwitter 1. What are my “life defining experiences” and what have I learned from them? 2. What specifically drew me to the specialty Im applying? 3. Where do I see myself in 5-10 yrs? 4. Strengths?

@pathopsych 3!
