June 23, 2022 How Med Students Would Change Medicine
Dave asks his co-hosts--M2 Maddie, M2 Chirayu, MD/PhD students Aline and Hannah--to discuss the things they would like to change about medicine and medical education, if (when) they could. A study in JAMA Pediatrics finds one reason students of color may drop out of med school: mistreatment. Dave fiddles around with AI text-to-image software. Can his co-hosts guess what the AI was trying to create?

June 16, 2022 Stop Gatekeeping “Doctor.”
Yes, you will (did) work hard to get your MD, but others have doctorates, too. Lighten up.
Noah (M2), Ariele (PA2), Nicole (M2), and Miranda (MSTP) discuss the impulse many MDs and MDs-to-be have to gatekeep the word “doctor” when advanced practice providers use it.
PhDs, DNPs, AUDs and many more also have doctorates. Instead of worry about who worked harder or longer to get it, better perhaps to support each other and not worry about who deserves to call themselves a doctor.
The American Board of Radiology does something crazy–they offer their trainees a bunch of leave for birthing and non-birthing parents to care for their newborns.
Noah and Ariele try the third hand experiment. Tik Tok science for the win? Or is it social pseudoscience?

Med student’s lives are much like everyone else’s. Except for the constant critique and testing.
Morgan (M3), Eric (M3), Aline (MSTP), and Abby (graduate!) discuss their experiences being evaluated in medical school.
Abby offers her big tips for new MDs to get the best deal on internet service (wait for them to bribe you with candy).
A doc goes to jail for his COVID cure kits.
We practice giving sincere compliments to each other while trying to make the other person laugh.
Can the co-hosts reassure a freaked out Redditor who abuses Imodium?

May 19, 2022 What Is the First Year of Medical School Like?
As the end of their first year in medical school approaches, M1s summarize their experience.
Dave asks his co-hosts to discuss the ups and downs of their first year, which some will argue is the hardest.
What were their social lives like? How much leisure time do they get? What about sleep?
Dave loves a good case study, so he subjects the crew to some to see if they can guess the patients’ conditions.

May 12, 2022 The Power of Discomfort in Learning Medicine
If you don’t like what you’re learning, look even closer.
TL;DR
Dave asks his co-hosts to think about the role of discomfort in learning. It’s a signal that you need to pay very close attention, both to the topic and to why you feel that way.
Listener Michelina, an undergrad mom with a full-time job, asks if her COVID-affected grades mean she should extend her time in college to seek a toxicology degree or just stick with biology.
The discussion on working during medical school continues, as Michelina wonders if she can work full time while she balances motherhood and med school.
