Advice to residents

Residency isn’t just about mastering surgical and clinical skills. Dr. Sumitra Khandelwal, professor of #ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine, reminds us: Use your attendings as mentors not only for medicine, but also for career and life advice. Protect your balance! These years are demanding, but also an important stage of life. When considering #fellowship, ask yourself if you’d be okay handling both the routine and the toughest parts of that specialty every day. Training shapes more than your technique. It shapes the kind of #physician you’ll become. #Eyeprentice
