The knowledge will come. It always does. But this moment in your training is about something deeper: becoming the kind of clinician people trust with their lives. Slow down enough to be present with patients and with each other. Remember that every person you meet is carrying a story that deserves to be seen, not rushed.
You will witness the full spectrum of the human experience: grief, awe, guilt, joy, compassion fatigue, moral distress, connection, and everything in between. Don’t run from these emotions. Name them. Feel them. Let them teach you. This is how wisdom is formed.
Pls remember — you are never walking this path alone. Even when the journey feels narrow or overwhelming, your JABSOM community is here to support you, steady you, and walk alongside you.❤️🧠
You are becoming someone extraordinary. Keep going!
MS1s:
This year, build the foundation of who you want to be as a physician— focus on curiosity, compassion, and learning how your brain, body, and values respond under pressure.
MS2s:
As Step prep approaches, ground yourself in disciplined routines, emotional regulation, and remembering that you are here to pass this test. Do what you came here to do. But remember, your worth is bigger than any score.
MS3s:
During clinical rotations, let presence, humility, and genuine connection guide you — patients will teach you more than textbooks ever could.
MS4s:
In interviews, remember you are evaluating programs just as much as they are evaluating you — choose three strengths that define you and weave them confidently into every answer. Know your value proposition.
Thanks for having us today 💚💚
