“Residency can feel like a riveting prospect as you are given the
chance to hone your skills in pursuit of becoming the physician you
strive to be. However, it can also feel daunting as it is prone to
learning curves, frequent transitions, and navigating systemic barriers
when it comes to healthcare access. These challenges are able to be more
readily addressed and processed when you have a strong, professional
support system. Throughout each phase thus far, I have been blessed to
be surrounded by the constant warmth that is the psychiatry residency
program here at St. Luke’s. From our PD, APD, core faculty, seniors,
co-residents, and beyond, we are able to turn to each other for guidance
and encouragement. The significance of mentorship cannot be understated
in developing professional skills and confidence. Likewise, the
importance of camaraderie and connectedness in promoting well-being and
facilitating discussion cannot be forgotten. I feel strongly about
ensuring all physicians have the opportunity to access similar
experiences and vocalize their ideas and concerns. As such, I was drawn
toward working with organized psychiatry through PaPS, specifically on
the Member Engagement Committee, in order to address the aforementioned
pillars when bringing residents, fellows, and attendings together.
My journey as a resident so far, coupled with my PaPS involvement,
has affirmed that the three main PaPS goals of advocacy, education, and
community are integral to our field of psychiatry as a whole. It is
exciting to witness the increasing engagement of the psychiatric
community in Pennsylvania as there are numerous opportunities to get
involved. I look forward to continuing our efforts through PaPS! I hope
to meet you all at the upcoming events. As always, please visit the PaPS
website and social media platforms for updates and news!”
