    Perspective on the Journey

    The path through medical training and practice can be winding, but we try to remain connected to our goals and values on the horizon. What happens as we evolve, and our perspective changes? We speak with Effie, an emergency physician, about how her engagement with her work changed as her career evolved.

    Hurdles

    Life in medicine is always looking ahead at the next milestone, the next hurdle, working towards the next achievement. What does looking at our lives this way do to how we see the present? As we look towards the end of another year in the medical calendar, we share some conversations we had as a group of new interns as the year began. #thrivingnotjustsurviving; #transitions; #meded; #thrivinginscrubs Guests: Amma, Aarti, Adam, Caroline Interviewers: Abigail Ford Winkel, Jillian Pecoriello Commentary: Abigail Ford Winkel and Annie Robinson Editing: Abigail Ford Winkel Sound Engineering: Greg Dorsainville

    Values Clash

    Doctors are often called to medicine as a way to express their personal values with their work. We talk about medicine a calling based on improving the lives of others. Nicole, a urogynecologist with an MBA and experience in different health delivery systems talks with us about those times when the business of medicine clashes with those values. We think about the complicated feelings this generates and how to turn those feelings into action. #thrivingnotjustsurviving; #burnout; #meded Guest: Nicole Roselli Interview: Abigail Ford Winkel Commentary:  Abigail Ford Winkel and Annie Robinson Editing: Abigail Ford Winkel Sound Engineering: Greg Dorsainville

    Perseverance, achievement, and getting things done are valorized in medicine. Learning how and when to take breaks is an essential part of sustaining engagement and doing good work.

    Imposter Syndrome

    Imposter syndrome is something many medical trainees experience, yet it is rarely formally discussed. We talk to Mia, Lynette, and Hayley, three fourth year medical students, about their own experiences with imposter syndrome and how they've learned to both recognize and address it. We discuss that while imposter syndrome has the potential to distance us, it also has the power to build community and relationships based on these shared experiences.
