Why read it?
1 author picked Intern as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Intern is the realest account I’ve ever read of what it’s truly like to start working after leaving the nest of medical school.

This book taught me that it was okay to experience impostor syndrome, to feel overwhelmed, and to express yourself creatively even as a doctor. This author has gone on to write regularly in The New York Times and has become one of medicine’s most treasured physician-writers.
