Episode 66: Tina - recently matched and current fourth year student, here at UUSOM Talking U and Med Student Life

    • Personal Journals

I know that Ophthalmology is for me because I sort of went into everything else saying this is what I’m going to do, and then ruled it out based on that.”Tina entered med school with an interest in Ophthalmology, but decided to keep an open mind and experience everything as if it were a potential field of interest. We talk about her early match experience, what specifically drew her to Ophthalmology, and how to overcome the anxiety of operating on a patient who is awake. Finally, we discuss what sub-specialties are available and future ideas to bring into the field.
