UnsCripted Medicine

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ben Kinnear to discuss the challenges that 3rd-year medical students face as they transition from reading about pathology and pharmacy in the lecture hall, to delivering patient care in the hospital. We uncover into the “hidden curriculum” of 3rd-year clerkships and explore the medical student’s role in a healthcare team, how students can elicit feedback from their superiors, and how they can both learn from and benefit the patient’s they care for.
