Abstract

This is the story of the events that transpired after I found out I had matched into neurology in the United States. It is not a story of triumph over adversity, but rather an honest admission of vulnerability-of anxiety and fear experienced during this process. It is the story of a migrant in an unfamiliar place, but also of the uncertainty that everyone feels before starting residency. I draw on childhood memories of the majestic Andean mountains to reflect on the idea that the climb never ends-and that with every step, our perspective expands.
