Editor-in-Chief
Mount Sinai Hospital
Alina is a resident physician in anesthesiology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. She graduated from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2022. She enjoys poetry and drinking chai in her free time.
The years that residents and fellows spend in training represent experiences that are vast and wholly unique — the seemingly insurmountable learning curves that level with time, the exhilaration of serving patients and their families well, the frustrations of exhaustion and loss — we at in-House are so grateful for the opportunity to share all these experiences with our readers.
Alina and I would like to take the opportunity to introduce ourselves as the new editors-in-chief of in-House, the online peer-reviewed publication for residents and fellows.

Has social distancing paradoxically made us closer? Can disease be tragically beautiful? I pondered these questions as I reminisced over the past few weeks working on one of the medicine floors in my hospital, grappling with these thoughts almost every moment as I have witnessed the world respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As students, most of us have heard about (or seen, as attendees in previous years) the raw emotions on display during Match Day. From sheer elation to disappointment, from intense displays to composed reactions, Match Day often showcases a wide spectrum of emotions.
Medical students quickly become familiar with residency match (“the Match”). Almost every attending and resident physician has interesting stories about his or her experience. These factors have helped tether the Match in student consciousness. But behind the massive collection of coverage, opinion, anecdotal stories (and lore), we students sometimes miss what a unique way it is to find our first jobs as physicians.
Our goal at in-House is to support writing as another such trajectory. We aim to help our colleagues “make things real” as they write them down in order to give substance to important moments and lessons in their work. If experience generates the questions we must live with, writing helps teach us how to best live through them.
