Hi I’m Ross Tanick, third-year osteopathic medical student at Rocky Vista University in Colorado. This podcast features interviews and stories with primary care physicians from a variety of backgrounds and involved in many different styles of practice (mental health, addiction and pain, rural practice, OMM/OMT, geriatrics, pediatrics, lifestyle med, preventive medicine, etc). We dive into the journey to become a physician and choosing a specialty, as well as hear fun stories and compelling cases being presented. No matter your interest in medicine, I think you’ll find it interesting.

Great episode just released with Dr. Cleveland Piggott! He is a family physician and an assistant professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Brilliant inteviews
Ross asks the best questions. And the folks he interviews are so interesting and diverse. After every podcast, I feel like I understand the *actual* practice of medicine so much better. From what it's like to work with those addicted to narcotics to the difference between Rotations and life as an employee... always insightful. I also find myself with new questions that I take with me every time I offer care of any kind. I love this podcast!
A great perspective on Family Medicine
I’ve really enjoyed listening to the Family Medicine Podcast! Ross asks so many great questions that you may have wondered about yourself and it’s nice to get a first hand, candid response from experienced practitioners in the field. I always love hearing about interesting cases and the fascinating stories of patients over the years. It’s also really interesting to get a physicians take on the ever changing landscape of modern medicine, electronic medical records, insurance and billing, the patient-physician relationship, the challenges of starting your own practice, as well as words of wisdom for future practitioners.
I would say this podcast is great for anyone who may be interested in family medicine or any scope of practice within the medical field. It’s funny and informative with some great tunes.
Informative and fun
Ross is an inquisitive and good natured host, which helps him bring the most out of the guests he brings on the show. This isn't just good for people interested in Family Med, this is good for any med student hoping to learn about the industry as a whole.
