Still in shock that I matched #Ophthalmology @EmoryEyeCenter None of this would be possible without the support of my wife, family, friends, mentors, and cookie cake! Excited for the next 4 years of growth! #ophthalmologymatch #ophthomatch #ophthomatch2025 #SFMatch

Most genuine, beautiful story I’ve seen on this platform. Our Alaskan Malamute walks a little slower these days, but gosh if she hasn’t been with me every step of my adult life. “Beer and skittles.”

I glance down at the paperwork my patient has filled out before his visit. Occupation: Retired harbour master. Two things: I’ve never met a harbor master before. And “harbour” with a “u.” Interesting. It’s the little everyday mysteries that I love most. That reveal us. 1/

I was having too much fun @UABophtho to post here! Lots of growth in clinics, the OR, and a busy eye ED! On to my medicine AI, research tidying up, and application refinement. #Match2025 #ophthomatch2025 #ophthoX #ophthalmology

Feeling very blessed to have traveled to Italy the 2 weeks to celebrate my wife’s 30th birthday! Our first true vacation in 2 years due to a couple years of heartbreaking losses. Recharged and ready to take on MS4, Step 2 studying, and many exciting projects to come!

I believe every med student should have a job(s) before they get to residency. Don’t believe your first job should be as a resident. Lots to learn from 9-5 clocking in/teamwork/respect when at bottom of totem pole type responsibilities💯 I think residency was my 8th or 9th…

Today is the end of my MS3 clerkships! I could not think of a better service to end on than surgical oncology with courageous patients and dutiful surgeons and trainees. Here’s to a year of growth! 🥂 #MedStudentX
