This coaching experience with Dr. Gina Geis has been extremely formative both professionally and personally. I have gained tools to cope with stressful situations and rejuvenate my mental health so I can be the most productive version of myself. I have also invested time to best prepare for residency applications and interview season during fourth year. This preparation has given me the confidence that I will excel in this final year of medical school. From developing my self-care practices, to visualizing my ‘ideal situation’, to writing my personal statement, and strengthening my interview skills, Dr. Geis has given me the tools to succeed. Her patience, compassion, vulnerability, and work ethic make her an incredible mentor who has been a pivotal part of my medical school experience. I admire her as a person and health care professional, and she motivates me to be the best that I can be. Thank you!
