Intern Year - You Got This (Even Though You Might Cry Sometimes 😂)

Hi, I'm Prerak Juthani - an internal medicine resident at Stanford and I'm here to tell you about what I wished I knew my intern year. The general thesis of this video is just a summary of things I wish someone has just flat out told be before I started intern year. While I'm sure intern year still would have been quite tough (as it should be), I think I would have been more understanding of my emotions the journey I was going through.

With that being said, if you are starting residency, you're in for an incredible (and sometimes crazy) journey! In this video, I'm spilling the tea on all the things I WISH I knew as a fresh-faced intern. From time management hacks to navigating resident life, these tips will help you survive and thrive in your first year. Whether you're facing down a long call shift or struggling to balance work and life, this video is packed with practical advice and real-talk empathy; I hope you find it as helpful.
