On this week's episode of Dear DO: The Human Behind the White Coat, I chat with (soon to be) Dr. Michael Harber, DO and incoming PGY-1 psychiatry resident. We talk about psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, functional neurologic disorder, as well as how to make your ERAS psychiatry application stand out, and audition rotation tips. We also dive into imposter syndrome, getting pets in medical school, and what it felt like to be a student during COVID-19.

This week's "Final Recs" include "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk, as well as a slew of psychiatry-themed movies that we muse about.
