Promising Young Surgeon

As a parent with a non medical background working to understand and support my resident, this podcast has been invaluable. It shares the structure and challenges of residency and what residents go thru as well as coping mechanisms and resources to get through residency. Really appreciate the real conversations and the transparency of the doctors who give back.

Dr. Frances Mei Hardin is an extraordinary physician, colleague, advisor and true mover-and-shaker. In addition to her many other invaluable efforts to educate and support those new to a healthcare system that is itself on life support, Dr. Hardin lends her insights and energy to the nonprofit charity Clinician Burnout Foundation as an Advisory Board member.

Dr Hardin provides a fresh perspective on the surgical training process and what it takes to be a successful physician in the modern era. Many gems in each episode. Definitely worth your time!

This is a fascinating look into the world of medicine for someone who has barely stepped foot inside a hospital like me. While we all know how many years it takes for doctors to go through school, you never really know the experience until you hear some of these stories!
