You may have seen today’s guest, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, on Chasing the Cure, The Doctors, CNN or ABC News and if so, you’ll understand why he is an award-winning medical educator and a force in the field. His irrepressible enthusiasm for patient care and teaching pours out in every moment of this fun and illuminating conversation with host Shiv Gaglani. “I really have this desire to make my teaching engaging and educational at the same time. To be a good teacher, you have to change your style with the times and for who your audience is,” Dasgupta says. Beyond his work with students, residents and fellows at the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the many attendees at his USMLE exam prep classes around the world over the past twenty years, Dr. Raj has touched a multitude of others through a series of books published by Elsevier that include the popular Morning Report: Beyond the Pearls and Case Reports: Beyond the Pearls. It’s a wide-ranging discussion -- he is quadruple board certified in pulmonary, critical care, sleep, and internal medicine, after all -- that offers insight on everything from licensing exams to AI to mentorship to battling burnout to the power of a smile. Don’t miss this whirlwind wisdom drop from the kind of teacher you always wish you had.
