Intern Year

If you didn’t already see it as part of the Impostor Syndrome character vulnerability, you may want to take the time to read: tinyurl.com/InternYear-Grace — it’s a beautiful, graphically rendered editorial on the experience of being a first year physician. 

 

Also, if your group did not experience a suicide, you may want to take the time to review the Suicide Postvention materials. The Washington Post editorial (tinyurl.com/InternYear-757suicides) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention “After a Suicide” toolkit (tinyurl.com/InternYear-AFSP) are especially powerful. While painful, this is also a critical aspect of the conversation. 

 

Lastly, we would also appreciate if you would be willing to share feedback. We are very interested in hearing what this experience is like for participants, including to inform future iterations of the game. At the same time, we are hoping to compile peoples’ responses from the open-ended discussion topics so that we can post them on this site (coming soon!). We are fascinated to see the collective wisdom of large groups for how best to navigate these difficult topics. The survey can be found at: tinyurl.com/InternYear-Feedback (note: the survey is somewhat long but you do not need to answer all the questions — please just respond to whatever you like).
