Abstract
Join an introverted third-year medical student as she is thrust into the hectic, bizarre, oft surreal world of inpatient medicine. Follow along as she grapples with the day-to-day realities of living with mental illness, confronts her insecurities, and begins to understand what becoming a physician truly means to her. Lovingly recounted in epistolary format, Once Upon A Clerkship is a bitingly honest account of the good, bad, and ugly of medical education as it relates to the individual.
