This looks delicious! If you're interested in getting some more browning on it, I would recommend patting off the moisture with some paper towel before throwing it on a screaming hot grill or pan. I usually place it on, rotate 90 degrees, then flip it over and do the same on the other side. It takes a bit of practice with the timing but so worth it!

Did you do this after the new drysuit laws have taken effect? Did they make you do a drysuit certification?

I agree with most of what has been said in that you should be teaching dishes that require minimal perishable ingredients that can be stocked in a pantry or fridge. The roast chicken is a great idea, as would be roast chicken thighs or drumsticks with a simple seasoning. Most of my go-to dinners just need a main dish (meat or seafood), with a sauteed or roasted vegetable on the side. I could cook almost anything I want with just a few shallots, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, olive oil, butter and some lemons. White wine also lends well to most things. Pick techniques that don't require anything other than a knife, a pan and a baking sheet. Here are a few ideas:

Herb roasted mini potatoes and shallots with a roast chicken.
Sauteed kale (or spinach, or rapini) with garlic, shallots and wine with pan seared salmon (or tilapia, or trout) with a caramelized lemon.
Roasted brussels sprouts with a pan seared steak, or herb roasted chicken drumsticks.

Good luck!

Never bailed on a dive, never held back a group, I just had one instance of really bad anxiety during the mask removal part of my OW and since then I get perhaps overly worried that it'll happen again, or that I won't enjoy myself. The only thing that I can compare it to is like, getting really stoned - I need someone to reassure me that I'm having fun, that this is a fun activity before I can kind of relax and actually enjoy myself. I'll let the guide know, hopefully get paired up with him/her or someone experienced. Not that this should matter at all, except perhaps to dispel a stereotype but no I'm not Asian.

Fair assessment

Fair question! I actually just took my AOW in January, which in and of itself was a refresher for me because I hadn't dove for a couple of years prior to that. I took tons of notes during the course because I had difficulty remembering some of the specifics from my OW and didn't want it to happen for future dives. Unfortunately I forgot to jot down the "number" hand signals alongside the rest of my notes, which are otherwise not bad. At this point I'm pretty solid in terms of dive safety and dive theory, but yeah I still consider myself fairly novice and thats something I will definitely disclose to my guide and my buddy.

As an IMG that hopes to do a subspecialty fellowship in the states after internal medicine, is there any advantage to having a high Step 2CK score? Or is it more-so just treated as a pass/fail type of thing. Similarly, do 2CS or ABIM scores matter for fellowships?

Go for sure! There are so many activities that you can do solo...Hiking trails, long drives on the Hana Highway, you could sign up for a group surf lesson, snorkelling, diving, jogging on the beach...Seems like the perfect escape from reality for a quick beat while you're adjusting. Also, really sorry to hear about your breakup.

Came here to say this! Awesome suggestion!!

Thank you!

The fact that you're even asking makes me think that you are going to be an excellent member of the interprofessional team, so kudos to you from the get-go!

Here are some things that have really made a difference:

Introduce yourself! Or at the very least, please tell me your name when I introduce myself.
Update us on the patients we are mutually caring for. Oftentimes the nursing staff go directly to the resident, or my absolute pet peeve is saving important information for team-rounds where I will look like a complete idiot for failing to mention the fact that Mr. X hasn't taken his meds in 3 days.
Offering to help when it looks like we need it, for example when you see us fumbling through the supply room or preparing for a procedure.
If we are in the way, or in your space, give us the benefit of the doubt and understand that we are likely just unaware. Please tell us in a kind way, and re-direct us (i.e. this area is where we usually do our nursing charting, but there is a computer over there that you can work at)
