Scrubbed In: Narratives from the Front Lines episodes
- So You Think You Know? Think Again...
Medicine is not always about speed or efficiency, sometimes it's about noticing what is beneath frustration, behind a label or hidden by routine.
In this episode, Mark Bugnitz, MD, Assistant Dean of Program Improvement for Graduate Medical Education at the UT Health Science Center helps students shift the focus on moments when something can almost get missed and what happens when someone slows down enough to really listen.

About Scrubbed In: Narratives from the Front Lines
From the publisher's feed
We invite listeners into the raw, reflective world of medical training—where science meets humanity, and every shift tells a story worth remembering. Hosted by medical students at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, this podcast captures the unfolding journey from the classroom to the clinic, offering an authentic glimpse into the lives of those learning to care for others.
Each episode weaves together narrative storytelling, candid dialogue, and thoughtful interviews, creating a space where students share the moments that shape them—first patient encounters, long nights on call, unexpected challenges, and quiet victories that often go unseen. These are the stories that don't always make it into textbooks but define what it truly means to step into medicine.
Through reflective conversation, stories are unpacked in real time—exploring not only clinical knowledge but also the emotional and ethical complexities that come with patient care. Conversations extend beyond students, bringing in faculty physicians who offer perspective drawn from years on the front lines. Together, they bridge the gap between learning and leading, vulnerability and expertise, uncertainty and confidence.
At its heart, Scrubbed In is more than a podcast—it's a platform for connection. It amplifies voices within the medical community, fosters honest dialogue, and reminds listeners that behind every white coat is a story in progress. Whether you're a student, clinician, or simply curious about the human side of healthcare, Scrubbed In brings you closer to the people who live it every day.
