Abstract

Introduction: This week I am sharing a reflection from a student that I am fortunate enough to mentor, May Dong UMass Chan '24. The prompt for the reflection was: After reading your admission essay, the professed values in the Class Oath, and considering your time in medical school so far, write about how the learning environment in which you work has influenced the kind of physician you are becoming, and whether that influence is positive, negative, or mixed.

May's essay captures the power of what students can offer patients during their care. However, it is more than that. It is a reminder to all of us - just to listen and be there and see people in their most vulnerable moments calling out for our help. Not to judge; maybe to recall our own most vulnerable moments, and then meet people where they are. Thanks May for the reminder.
