Mapping the Landscape of Technical Standards: A Nationwide Review of Medical Schools Interviewees: Carol Haywood, PhD, OTR/L — Assistant Professor, Medical Social Sciences, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Chris Moreland, MD, MPH — Professor of Internal Medicine; Division Chief for Hospital Medicine; Interim Associate Chair for Faculty Affairs and Development, Dell Medical School (Comments made in ASL and voiced through interpreters) Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA — Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education Description: In this episode of Stories Behind the Science, we sit down with Dr. Carol Haywood and Dr. Chris Moreland to explore a deceptively powerful document: the medical school technical standards. These quietly influential statements—often tucked deep in an admissions webpage—shape who feels welcome to apply, who gains access, and how institutions imagine the future of their profession. Haywood and Moreland, co-authors of a national analysis featured in the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education, unpack what happens when ambiguous language, outdated assumptions, and vague expectations collide with real people making real decisions about their careers. Together, they dig into the nuances of functional vs. organic standards, the importance of clarity for applicants who lack insider knowledge, and the ripple effects of inequitable policies across a learner's entire training experience. What emerges is both sobering and hopeful: a field undergoing change, a growing recognition that words matter, and a roadmap for institutions ready to bring their values into alignment with their practices. The discussion reviews: How technical standards became a gatekeeper—and why revising a single sentence can shift an entire culture. Why students with disabilities read these documents differently—and why that matters for equity. How ambiguity in admissions can deter talented future physicians long before they step foot in a classroom. What schools can do now to create standards that prioritize competence, flexibility, and inclusion. Dr. Haywood brings a researcher's lens and an occupational therapist's creativity to the conversation, illuminating how functional expectations—not assumptions about bodies—should guide medical training. Dr. Moreland shares deeply personal reflections on navigating technical standards as a deaf physician, offering rare insight into how these documents land on applicants with lived experience. This episode invites the audience to imagine a medical education landscape where technical standards do what they should do—define competence, set expectations, and open doors—rather than unintentionally closing them.

Whether you're a medical student, a seasoned professional, or just fascinated by military medicine, this episode offers a wealth of information and inspiration. Tune in to uncover the dedication and passion that drive military medical professionals to provide exceptional care.   Chapters: (00:04) Evolution of Military Graduate Medical Education (15:00) Military GME Training and Opportunities (28:51) Military Medicine Postgraduate Training Opportunities (35:35) Military Medical Career Pathways (40:14) Maximizing Success in Military Medical Careers (52:50) Military Graduate Medical Education Opportunities   Chapter Summaries: (00:04) Evolution of Military Graduate Medical Education    Join us for an insightful conversation with Army Colonel Dr. Kent DeZee, the Director of Graduate Medical Education for the Defense Health Agency. We explore the evolution of military graduate medical education (GME) programs and discuss the residency match process and unique aspects of training military physicians. Dr. DeZee addresses common concerns regarding deployment and training opportunities during residency and highlights the roles of general medical officers. He also provides advice for medical students looking to enhance their competitiveness for GME applications. Emphasizing the importance of leadership and clinical experience, Dr. DeZee outlines how these elements are crucial in shaping future military medical professionals. Additionally, we look into the changes brought about by the formation of the Defense Health Agency and how it has centralized the administration of military hospitals to better facilitate GME training across branches.   (15:00) Military GME Training and Opportunities     Dr. DeZee provides an insightful exploration into the nuances of the military's Graduate Medical Education (GME) system, specifically focusing on civilian deferred training and the differences in GME offerings across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. We explain how civilian deferred training allows students to complete their residency without military obligation, returning to fulfill their service commitment afterward. Additionally, we examine the similarities and distinctions in specialty and fellowship opportunities among the three services, highlighting that while core specialties are consistently available, certain niche fields may not be offered every year. We also discuss the limitations of applying across different service branches for residency, except in special circumstances like joint domicile or compelling family needs. Finally, we touch on the process during the GME selection board where unfilled positions in one service might potentially be offered to another, ensuring optimal utilization of training slots.   (28:51) Military Medicine Postgraduate Training Opportunities    We explore the various scenarios for medical professionals navigating the residency match process, particularly focusing on those who have completed or are considering a transitional year program. We discuss the eligibility of transitional year residents to re-enter the match and how their performance might offer a slight advantage over medical students who haven't completed such a year. Additionally, we examine the options available for medical students who aren't matched with their preferred internship, such as transitioning into a preliminary surgical year or pursuing a general medical officer (GMO) role. The nuances of how different specialties view a transitional year are also covered, with particular emphasis on which rotations may count towards graduation requirements for certain boards. Furthermore, we address the differences in how the Army, Air Force, and Navy utilize GMO tours within overall Graduate Medical Education (GME) training pathways.   (35:35) Military Medical Career Pathways      Dr. DeZee describes the journey of becoming a General Medical Officer (GMO) in the military, highlighting the additional training required for various roles, such as flight surgeon or undersea medicine. We discuss the mentoring process within a flight unit and the evaluation called a Focused Practice Review to ensure safe medical practice. For those interested in long-term service, options like aerospace medicine residencies are available. The Navy's new program, which allows a seamless transition back to residency after a GMO tour, is also highlighted. Additionally, I touch upon the flexibility for those who decide a particular residency is not for them, detailing the process for resigning and re-competing for a different specialty without it being viewed negatively, as long as professional standards are maintained.   (40:14) Maximizing Success in Military Medical Careers   We cover the critical decisions and requirements for medical professionals in a DHA Graduate Medical Education (GME) program, focusing on the nuances of resignation and training progression. We emphasize the irreversible nature of resigning from the program and the transition to becoming a general medical officer. I also address the integration of military education with medical residency, highlighting the importance of completing the Officer Basic Course before or during residency. For medical students aspiring to be competitive in the selection board, I offer advice on enhancing their profiles through clinical rotations, leadership roles, and research involvement. Being well-prepared for specialty rotations, demonstrating leadership potential, and achieving strong academic performance are key factors in securing a successful career as a medical corps officer.   (52:50) Military Graduate Medical Education Opportunities      Dr. DeZee encourages exploring the details of Army Internal Medicine programs through the DHA website, highlighting the ease of access and the wealth of information available without any commitment. We emphasize the dedication of program coordinators like Michelle Valdez and Michael Simons in developing this resource, which aids in understanding the local environment and the training of medical corps officers. Reflecting on personal experiences, such as undergoing surgery at Walter Reed, underscores the importance of excellent training programs for military medical professionals. I stress the significance of training residents who may one day provide care to us or our loved ones, highlighting the personal investment of trainers in their trainees' success. We also clarify that while the military does not force specialties on medical officers, the option to pursue one's desired field remains open, ensuring that medical professionals are passionate and committed to their chosen paths.   Take Home Messages: Navigating the Military GME Landscape: The episode provides an in-depth look at the military's Graduate Medical Education (GME) system, highlighting its evolution and the unique challenges faced by aspiring military physicians.

This isn't just a book about death and dying; it's a masterclass in the art of communication for every healthcare professional. Discover how to reclaim the human connection at the heart of medicine and why these skills are critical for every clinician, from physical therapists to surgeons. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Dr. Semer believes the rise of palliative care reflects a broken healthcare system and what every clinician can do to fix it. How to become a "medical interpreter"—translating complex diagnoses into clear, compassionate English for your patients. The critical importance of understanding a patient's quality of life goals before recommending invasive procedures like AICDs. Practical lessons from her book that can transform patient interactions, improve adherence, and prevent physician burnout. Why she feels healthier and less burdened as a palliative physician than she did as a surgeon. If you are a physician, nurse, medical student, or any healthcare provider feeling disconnected by EHRs and administrative tasks, this conversation is a powerful reminder of why you entered medicine and how to find deeper fulfillment in your work.
