FMStudent

Happy Monday, and welcome to Medical Mondays!

I’m super proud to unveil the project my friends and I have been working on since…well, after we finished taking boards. If you are super-observant and/or my stalker, you may have noticed it in my menu, but at long last…

We’re officially launching FMStudent!

FMStudent was developed by my super-awesome friend, Pixie, and Shannon and I joined forces with her to share all the things we’ve learned/realized through our first year of clinical rotations.

You’re likely already well-aware that I love to write, but I [probably] never mentioned that my original intent with this blog was to chronicle my [pre]-medical school adventures and to provide resources for pre-meds/medical students.

This was derailed very early on because of my love and adoration for food, which required much less research/time to write about, and it very quickly morphed into a healthy living lifestyle blog.

I don’t mind at all, because I love this blog and the people I’ve come to know because of it, but in so doing, Fairyburger‘s audience is not geared towards medical students. I’d venture to say that I have mayyyybe about 10-15 readers/subscribers who are actually medical students.

So clearly, a move was in order!

FMStudent is currently geared towards providing a great resource for third-year medical students, especially for those interested in pursuing family medicine residency the following year. As the year progresses, I imagine we’ll be able to write more about things pertinent to fourth-year too. :] Check out my super awesomely accurate bio!

If you know of any medical students (prospective or current) or anyone interested in family medicine, please send them over! We’d love to know what kind of content people would like to see on the site!

@FMStudent is a great resource for #medstudents interested in #familymedicine! #medschool

We even have a twitter account as well! (I’ve been trying to manage it without mixing it up with my own account, but…our very first tweet was a retweet of Shashi’s deliciously awesome Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies. Oops. :]

I came up with this design ages ago for our class t-shirt contest! :]

  1. Haha – even though it was an oops and a mix up from your regular tweets – I gotta say thanks Farrah!
    My daughter is in high school currently, but she has been wanting to go into medicine for the longest time – she thinks right now she wants to do family medicine so I’ve sent her y’alls link to FMStudent and I have bookmarked it as well! What a wonderful resource it’s gonna be!

    1. haha, maybe my subconscious remembered that and decided to manifest itself in the form of a tweet! :P Thanks so much for sharing it with her! :D We hope to fill it with super awesome content soon!
