Internist? Intern? Fellow…doctor? Oh no just, fellow? Can SOMEONE please explain what these words MEAN? Yes, yes we can. We’re back this week to chat about the field of Internal Medicine, the branch of medicine that covers a lot of the parts that you are probably familiar with, specialties like cardiology, gastroenterology, infectious disease, etc. This episode though, we’ll be clarifying what exactly Internal Medicine is, what is included in it, what’s not, the history of it and more! We’ll talk about women and some of their roles and representation in the field as well, of course. Then at the end, Alesha will spill some tea about her recent internal medicine rotation, it won’t be one to miss!

Check out our Feminist Corner discussion questions after listening and send us your thoughts! 

• Of the “expert” specialties, which one would you most like to do?
• How would you reckon with going into a specialty within internal medicine that doesn’t have many women knowing that you going into it could help change the culture of that specialty?
