M2 and M3: New Year

In honor of the new year, we asked four UWSMPH medical students to write about their 2020 and hopes for 2021—and they delivered. Our last episode featured an M1 and an M4 at the very beginning and end of their time in medical school. In part 2 of our 'New Year' series, we talk with an M2 and M3 for whom the new year brings added significance of marking the transition to new phases of medical school.  Anqi Gao (M2) shares a piece she wrote about the paradoxes of preclinical training just days after her last preclinical exam, and Shruti Rajan (M3) reflects on re-discovering what bought her to medicine after a year of core clinical rotations. From all of us at WBYIT, we wish you a happy and fulfilling 2021!
