Janeiro Achibiri, MD is a  Radiology Resident Physician at Harvard who thoroughly enjoys mentoring aspiring-physicians and aspiring-healthcare professionals as much as she enjoys practicing medicine and caring for her patients. A young and vibrant woman in medicine, she has found a way to combine her two passions in life through blogging, vlogging, and sharing her incredible journey into medicine.

In her own words:

"The beauty of radiology is that I get to practice all the specialties and fields of medicine: including family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, geriatrics, neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonary/critical care, obstetrics & gynecology, and all the many different subspecialties of surgery. Almost every human disease and pathology has an imaging finding! I also thoroughly enjoy all the many different minimally invasive procedures that we radiologists and interventional radiologists perform daily. 

The best parts and the most rewarding aspects of my job are the amazing patients that I meet and get to take care of. These individuals are one of the bravest and most inspiring beings that I am fortunate to interact with and learn from. When you truly love your job as much as I do, you will find that there are no challenges." 

As for professional style working as a medical professional, my biggest frustration is that hospital scrubs are often designed as "one size fits all". As a result, it is often challenging for doctors and healthcare providers to express our personal styles in the hospital ward or in the operating room. Although I am a scrubs-kind-of-doctor, I never allow the one-size-fits-all nature of scrubs to mask my personal style. A little color, a little pattern, and even a little sparkle on my scrubs and white coat are one of the many ways I express my personal style while also maintaining my professional appearance . 

Medelita happens to be one of the few brands that I would personally patronize. Why? Because Medelita caters to and designs unique and modern products geared towards young vibrant professionals like myself wanting to express our personal styles in our professional attire."
