The Countdown to My First ER Shift in Residency

Tomorrow, everything changes. After years of preparation—from the Marines, to pre-med, to medical school—I'm finally about to work my very first shift as an emergency medicine resident physician. In this video, I share what's been going through my mind during the final countdown, how I've been preparing, what I'm excited about, what makes me nervous, and what this milestone means after such a long journey. If you're a medical student, resident, healthcare worker, or just someone following along with the journey, I hope you enjoy coming along for this next chapter. If you've ever started a new career or faced a huge life milestone, let me know in the comments what was going through your mind beforehand.

Welcome to my channel! I’m Josh Korzan, a Marine Corps veteran and emergency medicine resident physician. I took a non-traditional path, earning a business degree before finding my way into medicine, and along the way, I’ve discovered a love for exploring all kinds of passions. On this channel, I document my journey through medical school, share insights about emergency medicine, and offer educational content from my experiences. But I don’t stop there. I’m a Jack-of-all-trades, so you’ll also find videos on health, fitness, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, skydiving, poetry, and more. Believing in personal growth and variety, I want to inspire you to do the same. ================================= #EmergencyMedicine #Residency #ResidentDoctor #DoctorVlog #MedicalSchool #Medicine #Healthcare #ERDoctor #PGY1 #Physician The Countdown to My First ER Shift in Residency
