VOTE DR MAJEK AKANDE AS RESIDENT OF THE YEAR.
I believe residents are underappreciated as the bulk of the hospital work falls to them. They are doctors and students at the same time, they are the spine of any teaching hospital setting, the majority of what we learn in practical skills as medical students comes from the residents. In the midst of all these responsibility and stressful conditions, residents still find time to make for social interactions with students and a very good social interaction profile is what sets Dr. Majek apart. Jovial yet serious, playful yet stern when he needs to be. Dr Majek is the ideal resident. Definitely not lagging behind when it comes to ‘stuffing’ up medical students, an encounter with him yields brilliance dressed in banter. Still searching for his type of personality(I’m not a very good psychiatry student) but maybe ICD 13 will come up with the Majek personality or simply Unique personality. In a world where we hardly appreciate residents, Dr. Majek Akande deserves this award even if it is from medical students. He is the kind resident I hope to be one day. Vote Dr. Majek Akande of Psychiatry department as resident of the year LAUMSA health week awards.
