\"Rutgers<\/a>Hello! I\u2019m excited to have an opportunity to share my adventures, experiences, and opinions from chief year with you. Transitioning between life phases can be\u00a0traumatic at times, but invariably bears great potential for exponential self\u2013growth. This year, so far, has confirmed that there is indeed much growing to be done! We held a transition event for our house staff prior to the beginning of this academic year, which I affectionately dubbed \u201cMetamorphosis\u201d (I know, corny), to discuss some of the expectations, roles, and responsibilities associated with becoming a senior resident. The many themes of the night included incorporating enthusiasm, intellectual curiosity, and compassion into our daily lives to become more effective leaders. I watch my new senior residents draw on these attributes daily as they navigate their way through managing patients and teams independently. We face an ever-changing landscape of medicine with challenges in implementation of healthcare reform, the work hour debate on resident and patient outcomes, the financials of medical school costs relating to choices for specialties, and the rise of genetically personalized healthcare, to name a select few… The adage, \u201cmay you live in interesting times,\u201d has never been more apt! My hope is that I will be able to incorporate themes from our Metamorphosis event into my year as chief and look forward to sharing insights with you about both my personal and professional growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
