 | Patricia Martinez Quiñones, MD PhD @PMartinezMD Hi! #AWSchat Resident & grad student @MCG_AUG @AUG_University. Excited to share #TipsForNewDocs for our #DearIntern |
| Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD A1 Read about the patient, the procedure, and-most of all-think like a surgeon. Approach each case as if you are the primary surgeon and have to know all of the steps without the help of your attending. #TipsForNewDocs #AWSchat |
| WomenSurgeons @WomenSurgeons @minervies Welcome to the chat! #AWSchat |
| Kyla Terhune, MD, MBA @KylaTerhune A1: mentor of mine always said: never operate on a patient you haven’t met—even though it’s technically the attending’s patient, make sure you have introduced yourself and examined the patient yourself before the case. #AWSchat #DearIntern #Tipsfornewdocs |
| WomenSurgeons @WomenSurgeons @PMartinezMD @MCG_AUG @AUG_University Thanks for joining the chat & providing your perspective as a resident #AWSchat |

| Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD A1 Simulation is an important tool to prepare you for the OR. Practice in the Sim Lab, and also at home or in the call room. Develop the basic skills outside of the OR to maximize your time in the OR. #AWSChat #TipsForNewDocs #surgtweeting |
 | Tania K. Arora, MD, FACS @TaniaKArora @WomenSurgeons A1. There’s too many resources out there. I try to get them to ask 1. Who are you operating on (know the patient) 2. Why are we doing the operation? (Know the indications/disease) 3. How do we do the operation (know the steps and anatomy) #tipsfornewdocs #DearIntern #AWSChat |

| Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD A2 Read about the specialty you are seeing. If you don't know what to read, ask your attending or senior resident/fellow in advance. Ask the attending for advice on what to focus on during the clinic visit before you go in the room. #TipsForNewDocs #AWSchat |

| Mio 幸緒 Kitano, MD, MS, FACS (she/her/hers) @mkitano7 A2: Maybe I’m old fashined, but you have to dress professionally. No scrubs in clinic please! Also, ask questions when you don’tknow something. Don’t assume. #DearIntern #AWSChat |

| Tania K. Arora, MD, FACS @TaniaKArora @WomenSurgeons A2. Glance over the clinic list to see what takes you off guard. (And what you can learn in 5 min) Prep notes in any free moment.(no one wants to be typing notes all night) #TipsForNewDocs #DearIntern #awschat |
| Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD A2 Plan ahead which patients you will see when possible and read about them in advance to avoid keeping patients waiting in the room while you read their history or review films. Ask seniors/attending how to anticipate clinic flow #AWSchat #DearIntern #TipsForNewDocs |
| WomenSurgeons @WomenSurgeons Great question, is it worth pre-drafting notes? @RASACS do you find this helps with efficiency? #AWSchat #TipsForNewDocs https://t.co/oxtgFdxQ7M |

| WomenSurgeons @WomenSurgeons @PubMEG Hi, thanks for joining the chat! #AWSchat |
| Meghana V Kashyap, MD @PubMEG @WomenSurgeons A1 #awschat #dearintern Get a Moleskin or notebook of some kind and start making notes on each case. The more you have written down, the less preparation it is the next time you go to a case. (2/2) |
| WomenSurgeons @WomenSurgeons #DearIntern Look the part - dress professionally for clinic #AWSchat https://t.co/iDoXuTR43Q |
| Kyla Terhune, MD, MBA @KylaTerhune A2: Draft your notes for clinic BEFORE clinic (except for the physical exam)—know the pt before you meet them-- use clinic to learn more and ask pointed questions—clinics are for surgical consultations, not medical student unknown H&Ps. #AWSchat #DearIntern #Tipsfornewdocs |
| WomenSurgeons @WomenSurgeons RT @KylaTerhune: @minervies @PMartinezMD Agree! I tell residents when second scrubbing to try to guess what the next step is before the attending or senior resident does it... hold focus. #AWSchat #DearIntern #Tipsfornewdocs |

 | Steven Nurkin, MD @sjnurkin #surgonc from @RoswellPark So many opportunities to prepare for the OR! Especially online resources, like SURGICAL VIDEOS! I still watch videos and pick up #tipsandtricks #dearintern #awschat #tipsfornewdocs https://t.co/tGY9YTCwQY |

| Meghana V Kashyap, MD @PubMEG @WomenSurgeons A2 #awschat #dearintern If you have time and the list is not too long, read about every clinic patient the night before. Prepare for clinic like you do the OR, then staff can spend time teaching rather than reviewing basics about the patient. |

| Nancy Baxter MD PhD @enenbee A2: #DearIntern listen in clinic for understanding. Let the patient tell you why they are there, uninterrupted. After taking the HPI, summarize what you have heard and ask the patient for clarification. Staff will be less likely to get a completely different story. #AWSChat |

| Meghana V Kashyap, MD @PubMEG @WomenSurgeons A3 #awschat #dearintern Find the system that works for you and don't let anyone else tell you it's wrong unless you aren't following through or missing things. Write everything down. Staff/seniors are telling patients the plan/orders you need to put in. Pay attention. |

| Kyla Terhune, MD, MBA @KylaTerhune @CelesteHollands This is great actually advice for all of these questions-- exercise, eating well, fatigue management, reading, preparing for clinic--- as John Tarpley used to tell us: Get in the habit of having good habits! #AWSchat #DearIntern #Tipsfornewdocs |
| Tania K. Arora, MD, FACS @TaniaKArora @KylaTerhune @WomenSurgeons I like them all (it’s a problem) I used greenfield, as I got older the ICU book, Cameron’s, and as an attending I go to more specialty books... some of which are online through the library. #dearintern stick with one good book at a time. #awschat #TipsForNewDocs |
| Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD #AWSchat yes, the team needs to be strategic. We used to leapfrog on dressing change intensive services. One intern stayed behind to dress the last patient’s wound & the next went with the team. the Patient is cared for & an intern knows about every patient plan. #TipsForNewDocs https://t.co/r2br23on5n |

| Kyla Terhune, MD, MBA @KylaTerhune Final thought: Intern year is one of those formative years for all of us-- learn from those before you and share with those to come! Thanks to everyone for your contributions! So much great advice. I will eat healthier tomorrow. #AWSchat #DearIntern #Tipsfornewdocs |

 | Becky Hoffman @drbeckyhoffman @WomenSurgeons @RASACS @AfifKulaylat #AWSChat My favorite is Cameron’s! I came to it late but wish that I had used it from the start. Excellent short sections and an easy but high yield read. Thx for asking! |
| Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD Amazing #TipsForNewDocs most of all, remember that you are never alone. Find your tribe and ask for help. If you ever need help outside your immediate team, reach out to @RASACS @WomenSurgeons #AWSchat |

Almost there!! #AWSchat #Dearintern #TipsForNewDocs @WomenSurgeons @RASACS @KylaTerhune https://t.co/Vpz2jSpyex |
| Meghana V Kashyap, MD @PubMEG @WomenSurgeons #awschat Final thought: Intern year, and residency, is not always sunshine and happy days. Remember that there is always some form of support, whether at your institution or on a platform like this with @WomenSurgeons and @RASACS. You're not alone. We are all in this together. |
| Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD Thanks @KylaTerhune for moderating & @reneehilton30 @MadelineBTorres for preparing a very informative #DearIntern #AWSchat |

 | Chris Childers @cchildersmd @WomenSurgeons A1 #AWSChat gen surg resident in 3rd year of research (:-\) -- this may sound weird but I spent several hours wandering around central supply in the OR learning about threads, needles, colors of stapler loads etc... gave me confidence asking for instruments when the time came! |
 | KellyR @KellyPediNp RT @TaniaKArora: @WomenSurgeons I still live by The checkboxes in my day to day. Can’t remember it all. I keep it on paper- still satisfying to cross it off #dearintern #TipsForNewDocs #awschat |
| Patricia Martinez Quiñones, MD PhD @PMartinezMD @WomenSurgeons Thank you @WomenSurgeons @RASACS & @KylaTerhune for this wonderful chat. I might not be an intern but I learned some new tips! #DearIntern if you remember one thing from this chat: enjoy the process! You will learn more than you ever imagined! #AWSchat |
| Chris Childers @cchildersmd @AZWalls @WomenSurgeons Q4A #AWSchat On slower days/nights I would walk up and down the stairs in the hospital... 10 flights from basement to the heli-pad; also, check with seniors/attendings but on most services totally reasonable to wander outside - don't have to be stuck in the call room! |
