I hope all of this shows you a bit more about the different types of medicine there are and the realities of residency. The goal is to increase transparency and be as forthcoming as possible about my challenges.

FAQ that individuals often have:

What is residency?
Residency or postgraduate training is specifically a stage of graduate medical education. It refers to a qualified physician (one who holds the degree of MD, DO, MBBS, MBChB), dentist (DDS or DMD) or podiatrist (DPM) who practices medicine, dentistry, or podiatry, respectively, usually in a hospital or clinic, under the direct or indirect supervision of a senior medical clinician registered in that specialty such as an attending physician or consultant.

Some general tips I've gotten from my seniors about the first month of residency:
Try your best to make it to month 2.
Take advantage of your opportunities.
You succeed with support.
Voice your concerns.
Embrace uncertainty.
Practice self-care.
Grow your knowledge every day.

How many hours do residents work?

According to ACGME work hour rules, interns never work longer than 16 hours at a time, and must have a minimum of eight hours out of the hospital between scheduled shifts, and an average of one day off per week. Second years and beyond are not supposed to take call more often than Q3 (every three days) and are not supposed to work longer than 24 hours at at time with an extra four hours allotted for patient care handoffs and educational opportunities (so up to 28 hours total at a time).

There are the factors that you should consider when applying to and picking the residency program that you want to apply to!
