(Sorry mom) Show Notes Instagram: @mindthegappodcast Email: contact.mindthegappodcast@gmail.com An introduction to the us, our decisions to take gap years, and our gap year plans. 00:28- Intro to us 1:23- Intro to how medical education is supposed to look, and how we’re doing things differently 3:08- Why Victoria chose to do a gap year 10:08- How Victoria chose her gap year plans 18:11- Why Gloria chose to do a gap year 28:35- How Gloria chose her gap year plans 35:45- Wellness/Self care segment Medical Education Overview - Med school is divided into two parts: preclinical & clinical - The Preclinical portion involves classes in the basic sciences as well as anatomy and physiology of each organ system in the human body. - The Clinical portion takes place 3rd & 4th year and involves a year of “core”/required rotations in different areas of medicine such as pediatrics, surgery, Ob/Gyn. - During these rotations you are graded both on your day-to-day performance and by an exam at the end of each rotation. - The 4th and last year is made up of elective clinical rotations and sub-internships or “sub-I’s” which are rotations when you take on the role of a first year resident or “intern”. - There are 2 “National Board” exams taken during medical school: Step 1 and Step 2 that you have to pass to be eligible to be a licensed physician. - During your 4th year of medical school you apply to residency which is a training program in the medical field you want to specialize in. In the US, residency is required to practice medicine in any meaningful way as a physician. - Clinical grades, Step 1 & Step 2 scores, extracurricular activities such as volunteering, and research experience are all important parts of the residency application. We are deviating from the typical medical education path by taking a gap year at the beginning of our 4th year. We’ve completed our core clinical rotations but are not applying to residency this summer like the rest of our class.
