Refrain

It’s just another day in a resident’s life

It’s just another day in a resident’s life

It’s just another day in a resident’s life

Discussion Questions

  • What image does this song create about the resident experience?

  • This piece was created from the perspective of an experienced resident. How does it differ from the perspective of the new medical student in the first piece, “The Burdens We Bear"?

  • How can we support trainees at all levels with their transitions in the new academic year?

Reflections from #MedHumChat

“This song feels repetitive to me which reflects the refrain “just another day in a resident’s life.” Makes me think of the grind of long shifts” —@jennifermcaputo

“Constant motion, things/people/tasks coming at you continually. No pause.” —@
