African-American physicians-in-training may be isolated within the walls of their institutions, alienated by their patients, and disconnected from their training programs. Listen to the challenges and aspirations of some inspiring African-American residents in the latest episode of this podcast series.

“The House” is a podcast that reflects medicine’s most pressing issues through the eyes of residents, providing a forum for physicians-in-training to share their stories from the bedside, where they are learning far more than the lessons of clinical medicine.

Listen to residents, program directors, investigators, and ethicists discuss the results of the FIRST trial, “National Cluster-Randomized Trial of Duty-Hour Flexibility in Surgical Training,” and its implications for the future of resident education.
