Recent grads, Trisha and Marina met at the University of Utah as undergrads and became fast friends during medical school. There is something to be said about finding just one person who is in the trenches of shared experiences and when the layers of life inevitably bring on challenges, that friendship provides much needed support and encouragement. I have enjoyed watching Trisha and Marina’s journey together always watching out for each other and leading together. Now that they have moved on to residency, we take a minute to reflect on their time together. All of this reminds me of a quote by Irish poet and essayist, David Whyte:"The ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self: the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.”
