Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. As you begin the journey in medicine, I have four words for you: tender front, strong back. Your gifts as a doctor are desperately needed in the profession. This metaphor will give you strength, especially if you feel overwhelmed or want to give up. “Soft front, strong back” was first used by Dr. Joan Halifax, a Zen Buddhist teacher and anthropologist.
