Are you in medicine or know someone who is? Because if so, they probably went through residency and more likely than not it was… intense. In this episode, we dig into the surprising and complex history of medical residency. From William Osler’s pioneering days to Halsted’s unforgiving pyramidal model, we trace how medical training evolved through wartime shifts, the creation of the Match, and critical reforms sparked by tragedy. Join us as we uncover how the past shapes today’s residency and the challenges residents still face.
