In a (Verbose) Nutshell
Welcome to Fairyburger! :] I'm Farrah, a Family Medicine physician in the SF Bay Area who aspires to lead by example, and loves all things fitness and food-related, finding great deals, and making every moment count.
Fairyburger chronicles my journeys through school, residency while balancing a life filled with volunteering, travel, fitness (especially lifting, dancing, BJJ), occasionally-disastrous kitchen experiments, skin care, and half a billion other interests on the side.
This is the main cast of characters in my life, and if you're feeling lost and confused, start here!
If you're a medical student and/or interested in Family Medicine, check out FMStudent (a resource for 3rd + 4th-year medical students)!
