Perception is how one interprets reality. Awareness is knowledge of a situation. A medical student's perception of a situation may differ from a resident's. Our mindsets are constantly shifting, the way we view and think about things is constantly changing—our changing perspectives mean we're growing. Concluding the conversation on changing perceptions, in S4E9, Leen, Margaux, and Harjit reflect on the perceptions they had as medical students versus how they view the situation now as medical residents.

John Hopkins defines evidence-based medicine (EBM) as "the ideal that health care professionals should make 'conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence.'" As medical students, EBM was probably just a section on an exam or test. But as residents, knowing when to use EBM when treating patients is not always so clear-cut. Continuing the conversation on changing perceptions, in S4E8, Leen, Margaux, and Harjit discuss the perception and reality of evidence-based medicine.

The way we viewed the world as medical students is—with little argument—different than how we view the world as medical residents. As our roles shift, we start to see systems and patients differently with new responsibilities and adjustments we may have once been sheltered from. In S4E7, Leen, Margaux, and Harjit talk about their changed perceptions as they evolve from medical students to medical residents.

As a medical community, we have—whether unknowingly or not—assisted in normalizing fatphobia by simply instructing patients to "lose weight" without having the complicated conversation of "why?" To understand how fatphobia and weight bias have become internalized in ourselves, it is important to think back and reflect on our experiences. Concluding the conversation on the flaws of BMI—in S4E6, Margaux, Harjit, and guest pediatric nurse Isis talk about their struggles with weight bias and combating fatphobia in medicine.

As health care providers, we were probably taught at one point or another during our education that health is the absence of illness. And that a person's weight is a standard measurement of health. But the origin of BMI—body mass index— was never intended to link a person's weight with how healthy, or unhealthy, they are. In S4E5, pediatric nurse Isis joins Margaux and Harjit to discuss weight bias and the flaws of BMI.
