Laura Vater: Dear Incoming Interns, Your Job Is to Show Up, Ask Questions, and Care Deeply for Your Patients

Laura Vater, Gastrointestinal oncologist at the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared a post on X:

“Dear incoming interns:

Remember that your attendings have been practicing medicine for years, while you’re essentially getting a new job every 4 weeks.

Know that your job is not to know everything. Your job is to show up, ask questions, and care deeply for your patients.”
