When you graduate medical school! And of course - no maliciousness here, I get lots of similar questions from my parents, who are also not in medicine ☺️
Officially Dr. Peris Castaneda! Thank you to my mentors, family, and friends for all your support over the last 4 years!! Going into residency with renewed energy and everything I've learned at @umichmedicine. Congratulations to my amazing classmates! And Forever #GoBlue

Just wrapped up my #uromatch interview season! I cannot say enough about all the incredible people I met on the interview trail. This was truly a pleasure -- & confirmation that I made the right decision 😊. Can't wait for a long and productive career with y'all #uromatch2020
1/4: Tomorrow is #MatchDay. I hope it goes well - for myself, for my family, and for my incredibly talented friends and colleagues. Regardless of how tomorrow turns out, I'm taking today to reflect on all the people throughout #medschool who've helped me get to this point:
3 yrs ago Today was our M1 bar crawl. Now ur looking at a budding Internist, EM Doc, OB/GYN (x3), anesthesiologist, peds neurologist & urologist! Med school flew. Intern year starts tomorrow. May we look back just as fondly 3 years from now.
I am overwhelmed with joy for my incredibly talented classmates on #MatchDay2020! So many emotions. I know this isn't how we envisioned today, but thank you @UMichMedAdmiss faculty for sending videos/texts/posts with ur love & congratulations & making today still feel special💙💛
Congrats to all the new docs starting internship this week!! I found an awesome thread with practical #tipsfornewdocs but then I lost it (true story). Which leads me to my first lesson of Intern year: either write it down or Tweet it right away 👍
