The Short Coat: An Inside Look at Getting Into and Getting Through Medical School

AI in Med School: Helpful Tool or Total Crutch?


Listen Later

MD and PA students reflect on what AI gets right—and what still makes them nervous.

“How are you using AI in med school?” That’s the question Dave posed to his co-hosts this week. Near-M3s Fallon Jung and Amanda Litka and almost-PA3 Julie Vuong discuss AI-fueled study sessions, and Dave points out a Google tool that turns docs into knowledge. They talk about what helps, what haunts, and what might accidentally erase their clinical instincts. Meanwhile, Fallon admits to looking to a robot to plan a bachelorette party. Amanda wants to ditch the white coat. And strong mints and clementines are the secret to surviving 3AM bowel resections. Also on the docket: what they’ve learned in their first few months seeing patients, OB night shift scaries, and which specialist they’d rather be stranded on an island with.
