TXACP Annual Meeting On Being a Doctor Essay Competition
The 2012 competition theme is The new doctor: The impact of generational shifts and a changing medical educational environment?
The winner of the 2012 competition is Kristin D'Silva. Kristin is a medical student from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Her winning essay, "Lessons from My Father" was presented during the statewide meeting in Fort Worth. To read the winning essay, please click here.
Few professions are as inherently dramatic as medicine. It is no surprise, then, that many physicians have recorded their experiences through essays, stories, and poems especially for an audience of their peers. These stories give voice to the joys and the frustrations, the magic and the sorrow, we share.
