3/4 sub-internships done!! Where has the time gone?? I’m already missing my time in NY!! My interactions with patients, fellow sub-Is, OR/clinic staff, residents and faculty made my rotation a truly unforgettable one. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it! 🫶🏼

2/4 sub-internships completed! While tiring in more ways than one, having the opportunity to work with incredible faculty, residents and patients has been worthwhile. These experiences have deepened my passion for ortho. I’m starting my third sub-I tomorrow, and I’m SO excited ✨

Spanish-speaking patients with limited English proficiency are receiving less comprehensive trauma evaluations and less communication from their providers. Now let's work on fixing the problem. @UCSDsurgery #LanguageMatters #AAST2022 #SurgTwitter #MedEd #SoMe4Surgery
