- Excited and blessed to be entering #Match2024 for #Neurosurgery 🧠 ! From a young kid in the Dominican Republic who played doctor to wanting to take out brain tumors i’m ecstatic to be entering a truly special field. I’m looking forward to connecting with future colleagues .
- Just had to come on here to say that I passed Step 1 without ever opening a lick of First Aid. So do what works best for you - you don’t have to follow what has worked for everyone else
