Resident MindMate

For the days residency is too much. Short cards you can read between calls, written for DNB, DrNB, MD, MS, DM and MCh residents. No lectures, no “just stay positive”.

Ranks reset. Every phase, every day.

Almost everyone in your batch was a topper somewhere: a school or state rank in the 10th or 12th, a good NEET-UG rank, then NEET-PG or NEET-SS. In a room of residents those ranks cancel out, and each phase starts level again. A past rank or a past failure doesn’t decide what happens next.

What counts is how you start today. And when things get really bad, staying alive comes first. Everything else can be sorted later.
