It was truly an immense honor to be selected as one of the Looking to the Future (LTTF) Scholars this past year. This experience reinforced my passion for pursuing thoracic surgery and solidified my decision to apply to general surgery residency this cycle.
The application/interview season was stressful. I was reminded of a saying from my years as a competitive swimmer: “Stay in your own lane and focus on your race.”
A resident recalls observing a master surgeon working in perfect concert with his team—and taking away lessons to apply to his own training and career.
