How were you welcomed into your new residency?
Good?
Bad?
Indifferent?

For fellowship I was asked to join rounds on June 30th (a Saturday) to learn the list prior to starting July 1st and was pimped and yelled at and disparaged the entire morning.
That sounds awful.
In what respect?
Like, did I get a fruit basket the week after Match Day welcoming me? No.
Did I get more or less sufficient information during orientation so that I knew where to go on my first day? Yes.
Did I have to waste a lot of BS time with in-person and online "safety and security" training. 1000 times yes.
Did somebody teach me how to use my pager and all the various systems we had to use at the time? Mostly.
That was for residency. For fellowship I was welcomed with a STAT page to the ER for a new acute leukemic at 7:30 while I was in conference. That was the entirety of my onboarding (admittedly at the same institution as residency).
