Unique role as resident
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"It's kind of a unique, in-between phase in that you're not a student anymore. You have the responsibility as the doctor that's looking after these kids in the hospital and yet you are still learning, and there are still attending physicians who are supervising you, to a certain extent.
"Thank goodness there is that graduation from being just a student to having some supervision. And as you progress throughout residency from first year to fourth year, you get more and more independence."
