Any advice for future interns?
Trust the process! Intern year can be extremely challenging and overwhelming at some points so as long as you can say you are giving it your all everyday, that’s all you can ask for. You will be surprised with how much you learn and how quickly you will grow this year. Your senior residents are everything so don’t be afraid to ask them for help!
