History & Physical: The Official Medical Student Podcast of in-Training
There’s a lot going on social media regarding sharing information, discussion and, most importantly, authorship. The typical notion of publication in medicine -- getting an article or paper in a prestigious journal with high impact factor -- is falling to the wayside as the democratization of information renders researchers, physicians and medical students more accessible. We had a chance to talk with Ajay Major and Aleena Paul, two enterprising medical students from Albany Medical College, on how they are contributing to that movement. The duo are the founders and editors-in-chief of in-Training, our collaborators for this podcast, and are bent on creating a space online where medical student voices can be heard. The post Interview with Ajay Major and Aleena Paul appeared first on in-Training.
This month, theme issue editor Ajay Major, a medical student at Albany Medical College, interviewed Dr. Pauline Chen about the problem of bullying in medical education. Dr. Chen, a surgeon specializing in liver and kidney transplants and the treatment of cancer, writes the New York Times online column "Doctor and Patient" and is author of the national bestseller, Final Exam: A Surgeon’s Reflections on Mortality.
