Depends on where you are. There were tons of people out in Glen Oaks around dinner time.

Thank you! It took a little bit more time because I wanted to write a personal message (pushing myself to do that more after working with AACAP PAC), but I appreciate you and your advocacy, and sharing this with my networks.

you're doing so well, and I have to hold back the 'well we could have had this sooner', but anyway.

It's so demoralizing. And I have had supervisors who allowed me to feel safe enough to fail, and I grew so much. And then I had experiences on rotations where I just felt like a glorified scribe (sad to say this doesn't disappear in residency), only to excel when given a chance and be told...

Exactly. And I’ve learned that when supervision becomes control, confidence fades, trust erodes, the leash shortens... which leads to less confidence, less trust, an even shorter leash… which leads to less confidence, less trust, an even shorter leash.

I am the only person in my class applying CAP, apparently.

And for me, it centers on the question of: what does it mean to be an apprentice who feels like they can never fail, and can never ask for help?

This cutting of the social safety nets is going to skyrocket drug use & abuse.

If you can't pay $1000 in rent, well at least you can forget about it for awhile.

If you can't get prescription meds, there's stuff available on the street...

So many people are gonna die.
