In this episode, Margaret Sun of the CFMS Research in Medicine Podcast interviews Dr. Victoria Luong to discuss her transition from clinical medicine to medical education research. Currently, Dr. Luong is a PhD student at Dalhousie University after attaining her MD from the Université de Sherbrooke in 2015. Her interest in qualitative research sparked a shift from pursuing a residency to undertaking a Master’s in Health Profession Education, steering her towards a career in medical education research. Notably, her graduate work concentrates on exploring the role of personality in medical education and understanding the experiences of medical trainees encountering struggle and underperformance.
