Welcome To Elmhurst!

Welcome to some of the most important years of your life! You will work harder than you’ve ever worked, learn more than you’ve ever learned; you’ll laugh and cry with your colleagues like you’ve never done before. You will learn from your patients and your peers, from your attendings and your medical students, from your mistakes and your triumphs. We are here to help you on this journey. Every step of the way. This website contains just a portion of the gazillion things you will need to know to succeed in residency. It is by no means comprehensive, but you have to start somewhere. You can only learn so much through reading these materials

 and you'll learn and solidify you understanding through your experiences.  If it feels daunting, just keep these ten things by Richard Feynman in mind:

 

1. See failure as a beginning.

2. Never stop learning.

3. Assume nothing, question everything.

4. Teach others what you know.

5. Analyze objectively.

6. Practice humility.

7. Respect constructive feedback.

8. Take initiative.

9. Give credit where it’s due.

10. Love what you do.
