Although this season focuses mainly on subspecialties, our guest today kindly agreed to take us back to a primary specialty (Plastic Surgery) and share her experience as a resident. Note: this is a new episode.
Would you describe yourself as an innovator and a patient advocate? Do you often wonder what you can do better for your patients? Does your creative passion ignite when discussing topics like AI, 3D printing, and the power of teamwork? Listen on... Plastic Surgery might be your calling.
Xiya Ma, MD (PGY3), candidly shares her journey with host Cameron Wong, delving into topics such as navigating being unmatched, her untraditional decision to take a hiatus during medical school to pursue a master's degree, the importance of self-belief and self-trust, and the need to nurture your life outside of medicine.
Oh yes... and of course Dr. Ma gives excellent insight into the diverse specialty of Plastic Surgery and her life as a resident.
It’s not always easy, but try not to lose sight of your own happiness (personal and professional).
Check out another episode on Plastic Surgery with Shane Seal, MD, FRCSC (published on February 3, 2023).
