When you get done with studying all the USMLE content prior to your exam but then the professor only asks low yield info from their lectures

Guess who’s coming back to South Floridaaaaaaaa! First attending contract SIGNED 🤝🍾✅ It’s with a baller group of young, hungry, surgeons. This opportunity has the potential to impact many patients in a great way.

The mentoring game is about to level up EVEN MORE yet again!🔥 Let the games begin 😈

Personal take: I was mentally ANNIHILATED after COMLEX, but felt ok after USMLE. Huge difference in the “perceived fairness” of the questions imo

As one of my fav attendings says - “Sometimes ya just have to get your paws in there” #Surgery vibes #MedTwitter
