We uncover the struggles faced by medical students, the complexities of medical residency, and why 8000 students are still waiting to enroll in post-graduate studies.

On the heels of a Frederick County Board of Education vote that will nearly double athletic participation fees for Frederick County Public Schools, Kevin Kendro, the head of school system's sports program, makes his annual appearance this week on The Final Score podcast. Kendro answers questions from host Greg Swatek about the fee increase. After numerous motions and amendments, why did it ultimately go up from $95 to $185 per student, per sport? What sort of impact does he think it will have on FCPS athletics, which have been steadily growing over the past five years? Does he feel fewer kids will play high school sports in the county? Does he appreciate the financial hardship the fee represents for families of FCPS athletes? The guys move on to other topics over the course of the podcast, which is informally dubbed every year as The State of FCPS Athletics address. They talk about the overall success of the county sports teams, which included another boys state lacrosse title, more state track and field dominance, and baseball state titles in two of the four classifications. They also talk about the inaugural season of girls flag football as a varsity sport in the county last fall and how that sport could continue to grow and evolve going forward.
We take a look at the FCPS budget. Beshear announces he is spending $234,000 an apartment on a massive affordable housing initiative, doesn't sound that affordable to me. Finally, I dig into the Kentucky Health Justice Network to see it's a pretty crazy organization. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrew-cooperrider/support

Should you become a board member for a non-profit? Let's dive into it. In this Off the Wall chat, hosts David B. Armstrong and Jessica Gibbs welcome Meera Pillai, a retired IT professional turned philanthropist, to talk about the ways you can make an impact through philanthropy and board membership. Jessica also picks Dave's brain about his own philanthropic endeavors, as he has many of them! Meera shares her thoughts on what it takes to serve as a member on a non-profit board, the benefits and challenges of board membership, and how to make the most of your philanthropic efforts. Plus, they discuss other (lower commitment) ways to volunteer your time, skills, and money to make an impact in local non-profits and community foundations. “All you need is passion.

With the 2022-23 school year now over, the supervisor of athletics and extra curricular activities for Frederick County Public Schools made his annual appearance on The Final Score podcast this week. Kevin Kendro chats with Greg Swatek about the year that was in FCPS athletics. The discussion centers heavily on the school system adding girls flag football as a varsity sport in the fall. How challenging was the process? What sort of response has the school system gotten about adding the sport? What will the games look like? What are the rules? How are points scored? What sort of blue print will the sport create for other school districts across the state? All of those questions are addressed. Kendro also talks about the state of the Central Maryland Conference eight years into its existence. Clear Spring was added in the last school year to give the sports league 16 teams, including the 10 from Frederick County. Kendro discusses some structural changes the CMC is making to its divisions and the way championships are awarded. He also discusses some of the challenges that high school sports are facing on the state level, namely a shortage of game officials.
