BUNDLE OF HERS

It's the season two finale and we're reflecting back on memories from our third year of medical school: lessons we've learned, goals we've achieved, and challenges we overcame. And we also look forward to the future—preparing for the end of our medical school journey (!!!) and the conversations we want to continue on the third season of Bundle of Hers.

We’ve never really considered ourselves as influences—we like to think we’re just sharing stories about diverse experiences in medicine. But with more and more influencers using social media to expand their reach, what does it mean to be an authentic social influencer? In this episode, we talk about the responsibilities and accountabilities of social media.

There's a common stereotype that claims doctors are overly confident. That's actually true—it takes confidence to save a human life. But, having confidence doesn't equal to being high and mighty. Being confident means believing in yourself. Believing you're more than a test score or a bad rotation. In this episode, we talk to thoracic surgeon Dr. Rosemarie Serrone about the importance of having confidence in a world that can often make you feel like you're not good enough.

According to UNEnvironment.org, environmentalism is, "Any proclamation of a human right to environmental conditions of a specified quality." Access to clean air, drinkable water, and a safe environment are some of the basic human rights we sometimes take for granted, simply because we have access. In this episode, we talk about how, as health care providers, we can better help contribute to a more sustainable, safer, cleaner, and healthier environment for all.

Rejection isn't something a lot of people want to talk about, but it's probably safe to assume rejection happens to a lot of people. Whether it's rejection to med school, from a mentor, or even from friends who aren't in the mood for hanging out—rejection's hard. But rejection doesn't have to be the end. In this episode, we talk about getting past rejections and not letting them define your successes.
