ABOUT ME

Welcome To My Blog

I created this blog to keep me invigorated in this arduos fulfilling journey to become a doctor…

As a former Dental Hygienist, I realized that I wanted to continue providing patients an evidenced-based, personalized approach that was beyond the scope of the oral cavity. With that said, I embarked upon a career change and I am now a fourth-year medical student living in New York City.

Storytime: Apartment hunting miracles.

When I was planning on moving to the Boston/Cambridge area, I had viewed a couple of apartments and I wanted to make sure I had an apartment that would be within 10 minutes of the hospital for residency and I also wanted to live in an apartment complex that would have a lot of amenities including a gym, pool and lounge space that would be more conducive to meeting people and socializing since I was new to the area. I was actually pretty shocked and surprised at how expensive and almost close to New York City rental costs were in Boston. I had found this dream apartment online that showed a very hip and happening social scene with restaurants, bars, shopping centers, movie theaters and so much more and I instantly fell in love with it. I went to tour this apartment and I loved it so much BUT, the available apartments at the time were totally out of my budget so I had to decline.

Afterwards, I went on an apartment hunt again and found a different apartment that was still pretty pricey but within my budget, although the space wasn’t so huge.

Then, two months later, I got an email. It was from my dream apartment complex and they told me that they have a unit available that was within my budget!! I jumped on that application so quickly and here I am.

Look at God !

So excited to finally fully unpack and furnish this place to make it homey since I’ll be here for a minimum of 3 years 🙏🏾💗

I’m happy in real life, even if I don’t post all the joys on social media.

Don’t get me wrong I love sharing bits and pieces of my life like the triumphs and failures as a means of motivation and inspiration but I also feel that sometimes we become too engulfed in this app that we forgot that real life blossoms so much more outside these photo squares and likes.

I’ve never done any of this for “fame or followers“ but entirely as a creative outlet that doubles as a helping hand to someone in need of mentorship or uplift.

Because real life is so much more delicate and precious than a filter or like will ever be, I have decided to scale my content and moderate it to the intensity that I feel is best. If I want to post more, I will. If I’m too exhausted , you’ll get some static posts in a week...or so. My stories are still pretty active so catch me on there. As always, slide in my DMs with any questions, commentary to chat about- I’ll be thurr. ☺️

And I’ll never get over how a group of first gen

And I’ll never get over how a group of first generation doctors took over Mexico with so much melanin, swag and grace !

Such a much needed vacation. I’ll be photo dumping all week to continue basking in the excellence of it all.

First of all, the hospitality in Mexico is truly unmatched and I’ll definitely be returning ♥️

Second of all, we’re fully vaccinated vacationers.

Third of all, we’re coming to a hospital near you July 2021 !!!! ayiyiyiyi

Last Match Day photo dump.

Thanks for all the congratulations, well wishes and support. I never realized the true depths of how much sharing my story impacted others until your comments shared recently. I’m humbly honored and privileged to share in this space.

I have God to thank for ALL of it. The fears, the tears, the sleepless nights, the disappointments, the trauma, the love, the faith, the support, the blessings have all culminated to this very point in my life and it’s all so emotional.

This is for my family.
This is for Liberia 🇱🇷.
This is for the patients in underserved communities crippled by systemic racism.
This is for Provyyy.
This is for the people who thought they’d never make it beyond a statistic.
This is for everyone who chooses FAITH over FEAR because God is REAL.

♥️🥺♥️🥺

I’m excited for this new journey to continue my passion and help our people truly get free. - Dr. Savice 🥰💞

Will I be leaving New York City, the place I’ve called home for the last 10+ years?

We’ll find out tomorrow during Match Day !!!

Tomorrow is the monumental day when medical students finally discover the hospital they will be training at in their designated specialty for a minimum of three years.

It’s been a long time coming although it feels like just yesterday I was an 18 year old New Englander transplanted into The Big Apple with dreams of pursuing an entirely different career path.

Little did I know that my career as a dental hygienist would spark a career transition into becoming a medical doctor. My love of science, mystery solving and compassionate patient care led me here. And boy oh boy was it a crazy, wild ride !

Absolutely no regrets.

So many life lessons learned and I can fully reflect and see the amount of personal, spiritual and professional growth I’ve experienced and I’m so proud.

No matter where this residency process takes me, I know it’ll be exactly where I was meant.

God don’t play about me so I’m ready to see what He has in store for His obedient, sometimes stubborn and bratty yet supremely grateful and loving child.

Blessings going up !

#swipe for some nyc throwbacks and recent photos of my time here ☺️ & also, meet me live tomorrow 3/19/2021 at 7pm EST for a live IG party and reveal and message me if you want to join the live too!

And the waiting game begins!

Officially certified my rank list of a dozen + hospitals that I may successfully match into on March 19, 2021.

Pray for me y’all!

Praying for all my fellow fourth year medical students. We did it! We deserve the best and remember the outcome will be just as it was intended to be.

Pre meds and future doctors, this is for you.

As you may or may not know, I completed a special masters program to matriculate into medical school after deciding not to retake the MCAT. That program was pivotal in allowing me to take first year medical school classes in a one-year Masters program and showed me that I was more than prepared to excel as a medical student. There are many different reasons why you should pick a special masters program versus a post bacc program. This blog explores those reasons. Make sure to take a read and share it with someone who needs to see this.

Can you easily forgive ?

In this last post of my medicine and miracles series #medmiracles , I want to discuss the concept of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is something I definitely struggle with as a Christian. Through my groundwork in scriptures and devotionals, I’ve learned that forgiveness is something of the spirit and what makes it so hard is that our fleshly nature to hold grudges is solely due to the psychology of the hurt your brain won’t forget .

I’ve had trouble forgiving people who have done me wrong but I actively work on that. I also have problems with forgiving myself.

I’ve even replayed mistakes in my medical journey of the should’ve could’ve would’ves. I have no regrets and I appreciate the torturous journey because it has built my character and prepared me to be a resilient person open to change and growth.

forgiveness should have no conditions. forgiveness is for yourself so that your heart can truly heal. Forgiveness will free you from walking around harboring malicious intent and having uneasiness within you. Remember Forgiveness isn’t forgetting.

A true sign of forgiveness is even when you remember their faults and offences, you say in your heart and to your mind, ‘God’s grace is bigger than what you did to me and how you made me feel’. - Kanyao Tavonga

Forgiveness is for your peace. It is important because just as Jesus sacrificed his life to forgive our sins we should honor the same for others and especially ourselves.

Thanks for following me through this series! ♥️♥️♥️

And then the MD said, “Well God can only do so much”

This was in response to a patient struggling with fertility issues who told the doctor that she and her church have been praying for her miracle baby.

Continuing with my Medicine & Miracles series #medmiracles, let’s discuss.

The OBGYN said this to me and not the patient but still I was shocked. My eyes widened, jaw dropped as I stood there debating about whether I should combat her choice words. It was my first week of OBGYN rotation and also being a third year medical student, I wasn’t sure if it was even worth having this religious, ethical debate.

So I didn’t.

I kept my thoughts to myself but I knew I would one day share it publicly to open a larger discussion.

After age 35, pregnancy is more difficult because of less frequent ovulation. Also, women 35-45 have a 20-35% chance of miscarriage, compared with women under 35 that average a 15-20% chance of miscarriage, according to the American Pregnancy Association.

Yet and still miracles can happen despite research and statistics of associated risks.

So, what are your thoughts on OBGYN reproductive medicine experts vs having miracle babies ? #obgyn #obgynlife #medicalstudentlife #medicalschoollife
