Show notes

July 1st is the historical first day of residency.

The learning curve is steep and once the training wheels come off, you get into a rhythm and things become more natural.

But what about day or month one of residency?

Dr. Mike Herring is back and together, we share are TOP 10 tips for surviving intern year.

Learning How to Shift with Radiologist Dr. Amrit Hansra May 20, 2019

Show notes

On today's episode, we walk into the dark room where radiologists thrive. From MRIs to CTs, imaging plays a vital role in the evaluation and management of patients but there's MUCH MORE that goes into radiology than just "reading a film".

Dr. Amrit Hansra is a graduating radiology resident and budding interventional radiologist who started out as pre-dental and shifted gears to medical school and landed up in the reading room, which surprised people.

Why?

And what is it really like to be a radiologist...

It's probably completely different than what you think.

Worry About Yourself May 13, 2019

Show notes

We spend so much time comparing ourselves to others. It's too easy for us to internalize what we *think to be true but as the popular saying goes:

The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

It's time to shift your gaze and worry about yourself.

More Than a Test Score with Dr. Renee Rodriguez Apr 29, 2019

Show notes

We feel the pressure to do well on each and every test where "just passing" is not even close to good enough. We're judged by our MCAT scores and told which specialty to go into based on our Step 1 scores.

Reality? The art of medicine is NOT a test question.

Dr. Renee Rodriguez is a successful pediatric cardiologist who:

Scored below average on both the MCAT and USMLE Step 1
Failed pharmacology in medical school
Passed her pediatric boards by ONE point

And guess what? She's doing just fine!

She matched in a top tier residency program at Stanford and is building her busy practice as a part-time doctor, full-time mom, and fitness advocate.

Tune in to hear how she overcome the stigma of test scores; why she decided part-time over full-time; and so much more.

Living Without Boundaries with Dr. Emily Jacobs Apr 15, 2019

Show notes

Sometimes, it feels like all you have time for is your medical training as if your life completely revolves around your coursework and call schedule.

And often times, it does.

Schedules are determined by the rotation your own, upcoming exams, and that 'lovely' call schedule that interferes with your sleep.

(Wait, what even is sleep?)

It can be hard to carve out time for anything outside of medicine, which leads to the question:

Is it possible to be more than a doctor or is that all you have time for?

Dr. Emily Jacobs is an Obstetrics & Gynecology resident who is BUSY! When she's not in the OR or seeing consults, she's taking care of her 18 month old son.

How does she balance being a doctor and a mom?
How does she not get behind in her surgical training?
Shouldn't you wait until AFTER your training to start a family?

You shouldn't have to justify how you want to live your life, but in this field, we can sometimes feel judged . . .

This is a good one. Thanks for tuning in!

Round 2 with Ryan Louer: Scoring 280s on Step 2 CK and Pediatric Anesthesia Apr 08, 2019

Show notes

Ready for round 2?

Ryan Louer is back! And he's here to share how he did it again. After scoring in the 260s on the USMLE Step 1, he did even *better on Step 2 CK.

Many people focus so much time and energy on Step 1 that Step 2 takes a back seat, but this daylong exam is a great opportunity to "seal the deal" or improve your application if Step 1 didn't go so well.
