    Transitioning to the US (From Nigeria)

    Have you ever spoken to someone and felt like you had been friends forever? That was my feeling when I initially met Dr. Ola Alabi at the wedding of a mutual friend. We discussed our transition to the US and our approach to medical school applications and finances (which 100% affects the decision to pursue medical education). We also discuss our experience with racism as trainees by highlighting an experience shared by Dr. Robert Ray. https://rrayjr.blog/2023/06/15/racism-in-medical-education-an-unfortunate-ending-to-my-time-at-lehigh-valley-health-network/

    Transitioning to Attending-hood (Primary Care Edition)

    Hello Everyone! We have been gone for a while! This is primarily because we all took on new roles after graduating from residency. Adesola is now a Gastroenterology fellow and has been adjusting to that. Katrina and Shobana are both attendings in New Orleans and New York City, respectively. In this episode, we have a wonderful guest, Dr. Janice Clarke, a primary care physician in Georgia. We address her transition from residency to her role caring for patients as the supervisor, without supervision, which i still think is scary and amazing! Here are some of our show notes: “Career transitions in medicine are often challenging and may provoke anxiety” - Jefferey Shen in AHA. "2018 AAMC data shows that 53% of the African American Physician population is female. To be honest, that data also shows that 5% of doctors that year, roughly 45, 534, identify as black. In comparison, there were 516,304 white physicians that year" "As of 2019-2020, Georgia has a population of 10,830,008 with a total of 24,914 active physicians (9.3% are 35 years and under, 11.5% identify as black, 36% are women). Population wise: 5.48M white residents, 3.28 M black and 524k Hispanic residents"

  4. The Exit Interview

    The Exit Interview

    Residency is over! On this episode of the podcast, I sit with my Internal Medicine Program Director, Dr. John McPherson to discuss my progress over the past 3 years.  In all honesty, with fellowship starting in a few days, it might take a while to release new podcast episodes. But, as soon as I am well adjusted and able to, episodes will be released!
