Medicine or Surgery? Pt 2: Your Questions, Answered


Listen Later

In Part 2 of our Medicine or Surgery panel, medical students take the mic to ask the questions that are often left out of formal talks. From starting a family, to getting into competitive programs, to the importance of YOUR brand, to doing fellowships abroad, to choosing between medicine and surgery... and so much more. Nothing is off the table.

Our guests, Adrian Huang, MBBChBAO, FRCSC, (Orthopedic Surgery) and Lara Best, MD, FRCPC (Radiation Oncology), share honest reflections on the real-life factors that shaped their decisions around specialty, practice setting, and lifestyle.

Don't miss the full picture—listen to Part 1 of the panel, released April 29, where we dig into career insights, specialty choice, and what motivates our guests!
