    16 - Interviews Have Never Been Bedder

    In all our glory, we dissect the gritty details of the ever-intimidating residency interview. We have really enjoyed residency interview season so far. We've had great experiences getting to know so many people and programs. On today's episode, we get into what we've loved, what we haven't, and some of the things that might just have surprised us about our experience thus far with interviews.

    14 - Adam's Path to Path

    What happens when a medical student realizes their chosen specialty isn't actually for them? What kind of medical student is suited for urology? ...or pathology? What is a pre-doctoral fellowship, and why would I want to do one?

    This week, we answer those questions and others while we speak with Adam Berry, an osteopathic medical student and pre-doctoral anatomy fellow at Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine - Southern Utah.

Objective review from Austin’s mother

You guys are doing such a great job! I especially enjoyed listening to your latest one with Dr. Leslie Zorwick. She was excellent; I thought Austin and Kama asked great questions. I’m looking forward to the next podcaat. Two more things: I liked that Tim Light calls his mother often! (Hint hint! ;). Also in another episode you said your parents didn’t have very big plans for you? Not true! Austin has always been the genius of the family (next to his dad) and all his friends and others around him knew it.
