Welcome to the new interns!!

Moving, returning from vacation, orientation, and anticipation are likely all contributing to your sense of confusion, fear, and excitement! Trust me when I say that all of us, every single one, has been where you have and felt what you’ve felt. 

That said, I’m not here to reinvent any advice. Below is a collection of links to some of the things I’ve written as an intern and R2 and those not written by me that have helped me along the way. Hopefully will serve to help make the transition less chaotic, less scary, and a little more enjoyable.

And remember interns, all of us in the medblr-sphere are here for you during these wild first few months and we’re excited to watch you grow!
