Lisa D'Souza, M.D.

I was so lucky to celebrate #match2024 with my family, even my sister who flew in from Rochester, MN! I am so grateful for all of the support and guidance from my mentors, family and friends throughout this match season! I will be heading to Sinai Baltimore for PM&R training! 🎉

residency is just a perpetually repeating countdown until my next day off

my first mentor in PM&R is now a PD! I wouldn’t be where I am today without her! Go check out their program! They are participating in SOAP this year #physiatry #medtwitter

@CJ_Cregg_Cook I would love that!!

@CJ_Cregg_Cook Thinking of you and your family! ❤️

One of the best experiences I’ve had in medical school! Helped me feel like I had a sense of community in PM&R when I was struggling to find my place in the field! Please reach out if you have any questions about applying!

Future physiatrists please consider applying!! Met some of the most amazing people while helping with RiR.

@medbrisbon This was a factor for me so I found posters I could present and my school gave a stipend for people presenting! I didn’t know about it at first so I try to encourage other students to see if their school has any opportunities like that!

I truly don’t understand how some students can go to so many conferences. Flight, hotel, registration. But they are necessary to attend for some fields & I want to put my best foot forward. I’m at a cross road.
