  • New MD and PA Students: Why Medicine? (Recess Rehash)

    New MD and PA Students: Why Medicine? (Recess Rehash)
    Jan 2 2025
    Med Students discuss their “Why Medicine?” answers. Dave welcomes newly minted medical and PA students at the Carver College of Medicine to share their first-week experiences and the challenges of adapting to medical school. M1s Sydney Skuodas, Michael Arrington, Alex Murra, Luke Geis, and PA1 Harrison Parker discuss what they’ve learned about time management, personal growth during “gap years,” overcoming imposter syndrome, and balancing personal life with rigorous medical training. The co-hosts also discuss the personal motivations behind their decisions to pursue medicine, revealing stories of past careers, family influences, and the aspiration to impact lives directly. Don’t worry about the shock device we’re using, I’m sure they’re fine, plus it was Luke’s idea.

  • Don’t Drop Your Hobbies, Doc!

    Don’t Drop Your Hobbies, Doc!
    Dec 19 2024
    You need things to keep you grounded, so keep those hobbies going, or find some. We've said it before, we'll say it again: studying medicine will consume everything if you let it...so don't let it. Your hobbies--whether you pursue them steadily or they shift over time--help you achieve your goals in medicine, too. M3 Jeff Goddard, MD/PhD student Miranda Schene, and M2s Kaitlin Grimes and Sri Nandakumar talk about their hobbies and what they get out of them. Whether it's reaching that flow state, increasing their engagement in their work, reducing the chances of burnout, or adding to their understanding of the world they live in, pastimes and avocations keep docs grounded and creative.
