Podcasts about med school

In this episode of Admissions Straight Talk, host Dr. Valerie Wherley sits down with Accepted Admissions Consultant Alicia Nimonkar, an expert writing coach with a background in composition and rhetoric, to unpack one of the most important – and often most intimidating – parts of the medical school application: the personal statement. Alicia explains how applicants can use the AAMC's premed competencies as a framework to craft authentic, focused narratives that highlight their strengths. From creating a timeline of formative experiences to developing an outline that connects recurring themes, she shares how to identify what makes your story uniquely yours – and how to make it resonate with admissions committees.Alicia also offers practical insight into the writing process itself: how many drafts it really takes, when to stop editing, and how to avoid the “too many cooks in the kitchen” trap of excessive feedback. She and Dr. Wherley discuss the power of resilience, effort, and voice – exploring how applicants can address challenges without sounding apologetic and how to write from a place of strength and advocacy. Whether you're starting your first draft or polishing your final version, this episode will help you approach your personal statement with clarity, confidence, and purpose.Related ResourcesAAMC The Premed Competencies for Entering Medical StudentsMindsets: A View From Two ErasThe Obstacle Is the WayAlicia Nimonkar bio and contact informationRelated Admissions Straight Talk EpisodesThe Fastest Way to Medical School Is Slowly: Avoiding Early Premed Mistakes [Episode 608]How to Overcome the Biggest Weaknesses in Med School Applications [Episode 605]Rejection and Reapplication: How to Respond [Episode 523] Follow UsYouTubeFacebookLinkedInContact Uswww.accepted.comsupport@accepted.com+1 (310) 815-9553

Her story is one of passion and perseverance, shaped by influential mentors and a deep love for science and biology. We explore how her early exposure to healthcare set her on a path marked by determination, from shadowing opportunities in high school to embracing the rigors of college science courses. Julia's journey is a testament to the profound impact of nurturing mentors and the power of early influences in shaping a lifelong commitment to the medical field.For those considering the premed track, the journey can be transformative, as experienced by a student who transitioned from Gonzaga University to the University of Pennsylvania. Initially drawn to Gonzaga for its small class sizes, they discovered a passion for neuroscience that led them to seek a university with more robust resources. At Penn, the pre-health office and a vibrant community of peers provided essential support, including MCAT preparation and research opportunities at CHOP. This narrative highlights the importance of aligning educational environments with personal aspirations and the value of a supportive academic community.The road to medicine is often fraught with challenges, notably the MCAT, which can test even the most dedicated students. Our candid discussion on the arduous journey of MCAT preparation reveals that struggles are common, but perseverance and strategic changes in study approaches can lead to success. For those pursuing an MD/PhD, like our guest, taking gap years to gain research experience can prove invaluable. Whether it's choosing the right medical school or overcoming skepticism from others, the journey demands resilience and alignment with one's passions. As we reflect on these stories, we hope to offer encouragement and guidance for future medical professionals navigating their unique paths.

Why does your dermatologist want you to throw out your doona immediately? Why do nurses desperately need you to stop lying about how that foreign object got stuck inside you? And, what is the real reason for your recurrent vaginal infections? In this episode, we speak to Rodney Sinclair, Professor of Dermatology at The University of Melbourne, to tackle the confusion between dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. He explains the genetic origins of eczema, why most people stop their treatment too soon and he shares his theory on why your choice of bed cover might be aggravating your itchy skin. We cover everything from if it is really possible to “grow out” of eczema, the difference between treating a flare-up and maintaining remission and why five-minute lukewarm showers are a non-negotiable. Plus, Dr Mariam and Claire deliver a crucial PSA on behalf of nurses and doctors everywhere regarding foreign objects being put where the sun doesn’t shine. And, in our Quick Consult, Dr Mariam answers a frustrated listener’s question about recurrent thrush and Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) - and if their partner could be unknowingly reinfecting them…THE END BITS All your health information is in the Well Hub.

Turns out medical students are regular humans who happen to need to memorize the Krebs cycle We've all got that mental image of medical students – the type-A perfectionists grinding through textbooks even on the porcelain throne, right? Well, our first-year medical students at Iowa are about to blow up every assumption you've ever had. Turns out the people memorizing a zillion anatomical structures aren't exactly who you'd expect. M1s Chase McInville, Lillian Schmidt, Jonah Albrecht, and Abbie Townsend reveal why your pre-med study plans are probably useless, how a hockey ref's confidence translates to patient care, and why some medical students refuse to study on Saturdays. We explore the real traits that matter (spoiler: it's not being a genius), bust the myth about cutthroat competition, and discover why medical school might actually be more collaborative than your average undergrad group project. Plus, we settle the burning question every pre-med wants answered: can you actually prepare for medical school, or should you just go backpacking in Europe instead? These Short Coats share what non-medical experiences shaped them most, from building houses with Habitat for Humanity to working political campaigns to reffing hockey games to farming vegetables with zero agricultural background. This isn't your typical “day in the life” medical school content. We're talking about the messy reality of learning to learn again, the unexpected diversity of personalities in short white coats, and why the smartest thing these students do might be admitting they don't know everything. The episode ends with the Short Coats working together to hash out the vibes of med student life. Hint: there should really only be five nerves.

You're not alone—medical training often falls short.In this solo episode of Succeed in Medicine, Dr. Bradley Block shares how to distinguish between colds, bacterial sinusitis, allergies, and sinus migraines. With insights from years of clinical experience, on sinusitis as a secondary bacterial infection following viruses, not allergies or blockages. He covers "second sickness" patterns, why 10-day watchful waiting beats early antibiotics, migraine misdiagnoses, and treatments like nasal steroids for allergies versus surgery for fungal balls. Debunking myths like balloon sinuplasty for migraines. This episode equips physicians with practical tools to avoid overtreatment and improve patient outcomes, learn why facial pressure often points to migraines, when antibiotics are truly needed, and how to spot the “second sickness” pattern of sinus infections. Packed with practical tips and myth-busting, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating sinus issues or curious about ENT care.Three Actionable Takeaway:Sinusitis Starts with a Virus: Dr. Block explains bacterial sinusitis as a secondary infection after a cold disrupts sinus mucosa—watch for "second sickness" where symptoms worsen after initial improvement. Hold antibiotics for at least 10 days unless complications like orbital cellulitis arise.Facial Pressure Isn't Always Sinus: Often misdiagnosed as sinusitis, facial pressure (especially weather-related) signals migraines—Dr. Block advises checking for tenderness over sinuses and avoiding unnecessary CT scans or surgery like balloon sinuplasty, which treats mucosa issues poorly.Allergies vs. Sinusitis: Separate Issues: Allergies swell nasal mucosa but don't cause sinus infections due to insufficient allergen entry—treat with nasal steroids or immunotherapy. Fungal balls require surgery, not meds, as they're not true infections. About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

In this episode, Alyssa and Nadia catch up on Nadia's job search for a clinical research co-op and reflect on the "soft skills" she's been building for her future medical career.Nadia opens up about the humbling reality of applying to 20+ co-op positions over two months and receiving just one interview. She's specifically seeking clinical research or clinical trials work — not another medical assistant role — because she wants to explore new sides of healthcare before committing to medical school. They discuss the pressure of being selective while also needing to secure something, and how different this process feels when you're still a student versus someone with a mortgage and kids to support.The conversation shifts to bigger healthcare issues: the loss of SNAP benefits for November, Nadia's past research on sanctuary policies and undocumented immigrants' access to food stamps and prenatal care, and how these social determinants of health matter for doctors. Alyssa reflects on what makes a good physician beyond just medical knowledge — communication skills, empathy, awareness of patients' lived experiences, and the ability to work with a healthcare team.They also touch on internet outages affecting work and school, Nadia's love of rewatching Gilmore Girls, and a new Netflix medical show called "Doc" about a brilliant but cold physician who becomes kind again after a brain injury erases 8 years of her memory.At its core, this episode is about preparation: the unsexy, uncertain work of building a foundation for a career that demands not just knowledge, but compassion, adaptability, and real-world understanding.TakeawaysThe co-op/internship process can be humbling — even when you're qualified and confident in your skillsBeing selective about opportunities is important, but so is recognizing when to be flexibleClinical research experience doesn't always "count" the way traditional lab research does for med school applicationsPursuing what genuinely interests you (not just what looks good) shows authenticity to admissions committeesUnderstanding social determinants of health — like access to food stamps, immigration status, healthcare barriers — is critical for future physiciansA good doctor needs more than medical knowledge: communication, empathy, cultural awareness, teamwork, and clinical reasoningPre-med students should focus on gathering "soft skills" before medical school through diverse work and research experiencesWorking in healthcare policy and equity research provides valuable perspective for patient careChapters0:10–1:50 – Internet Outages and Tech Dependence (Amazon Cloud Issues)1:51–3:16 – From Paper Charts to Digital: How Healthcare Adapted3:17–5:23 – The Co-op Hunt: 20 Applications, 1 Interview5:24–7:58 – Should Research "Count" for Med School?

Claire and Dr Mariam are here with Mamamia's women's health podcast, Well.

Love what you hear? Follow Well in your podcast app — new episodes drop EVERY THURSDAY. Just search Well, tap '+ follow', and you’re set. ON THE POD What do we now know about HRT and is it a safe way to manage peri/menopause symptoms? We go to Med School to find out if an ear piercing could help to relieve migraines.

In this episode, we talk to Professor Rodney Baber, to unpack the myths and misinformation around Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), now commonly referred to as MHT (Menopause Hormonal Therapy). We discuss the infamous Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) 2002 study, which caused widespread fear around HRT/MHT and breast cancer, and explore what we know now about the safety of HRT/MHT.

Med School ROI: Still Worth the Debt? Doctors make bank, so why do they feel poor? We're breaking down the brutal reality of medical money myths—starting with the lie that your six-figure salary will solve everything. With financial advisor Tyler Olson, M4s Jeff Goddard and Trent Gilbert, and M2 Luke Geis ask whether med school is still a good investment or just an expensive trap wrapped in prestige. We talk always-on-the-verge-of-disappearing Public Service Loan Forgiveness, we drag lifestyle creep, go full scorched-earth on bad budgeting, and explain why even a half-million bucks a year won't automatically save you from living paycheck to paycheck. If you've ever looked at an attending and thought “they must have it made,” this episode will explain why they often don't. Learn what to do before residency, how to prep for your 4th-year expenses, why disability insurance might be more important than your board scores, and whether that $15/month budget app is actually worth it. Spoiler: Tyler prefers sticky notes on mirrors. Oh—and if you thought $275K was a lot, wait until taxes take their cut.

PT vs. Medical School: Lifestyle, Income, and the Business Path Few Consider In this solo episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down a classic fork-in-the-road question for students and career-changers: Should you pursue physical therapy school or medical school? Drawing on a candid lunch with a former intern (and on his own early dilemma), Danny compares lifestyle, income, loans, training length, and how entrepreneurship can change the math for PTs—without sacrificing family and health. Episode Summary The question: A former intern (eligible for either path) asks: PT school or medical school (orthopedic surgery interest)? Danny's lens: He weighed the same choice years ago and chose PT—primarily for lifestyle and family. Five buckets to compare: Lifestyle, income, loans, school/residency duration, and long-term autonomy via business ownership. AI & resilience: Hands-on healthcare—surgery and PT—remains durable amid rapid tech/AI change. The PT upside: The owner path can approach surgeon-level earnings while preserving a more family-friendly schedule. The mission: PT Biz aims to add $1B in cash-based services to the profession through better models and mentorship. Key Takeaways Lifestyle matters: PT offers predictable days, weekends, and no night shifts or “PT emergencies.” Income reality: Surgeon averages are high (≈$500k mid-career), but PT owners can earn far more than staff PTs and build an asset. Debt & duration: Medical path = longer (residency + possible fellowship). PT path = shorter runway to practice and ownership. Entrepreneurship is the unlock: A cash/hybrid clinic changes the economics, decoupling income from hours. Sleep & health count: Shift work and call are tough on health and family—know what you're trading. Pick your “why”: If surgery is your calling, pursue it. If you want impact + autonomy, PT + business can be ideal. Pro Tips You Can Use Today Audit your top priorities: rank lifestyle, income potential, training time, and family. Shadow both paths for full days (clinic, OR, post-op, call schedule) before deciding. Map a PT owner timeline: 4 yrs undergrad → 3 yrs DPT → ~3 yrs clinical depth → start clinic → 3 yrs scale. Learn business early: pricing, sales, local marketing, and continuity/recurring revenue. Protect sleep as a non-negotiable while you build—long game beats short sprints. Notable Quotes “You can make surgeon-level money as a PT—but that usually happens as a business owner.” “Real wealth isn't just monetary. It's time, health, and relationships.” “If surgery is your calling, do it. If you want impact and autonomy, PT plus business is a fantastic path.” Action Items Schedule two full-day shadows: one with an ortho surgeon, one with a cash-based PT owner. Write a one-page decision memo: goals, trade-offs, non-negotiables. List three business skills to learn this quarter (e.g., local workshops, sales frameworks, continuity offers). Talk with your family about lifestyle costs—nights, weekends, call. Resources & Links PT Biz Website Free 5-Day PT Biz Challenge

Turns out, pausing med school can actually be the smartest career move. Whether you're spiraling in burnout, floundering in step prep, or just eyeballing that MPH, here's an option you should consider: taking a leave of absence.

The Admissions Straight Talk podcast is back with a fresh look, and new host! After retiring this summer, Accepted founder Linda Abraham turned the podcast reigns over to Accepted admissions expert Dr. Valerie Wherley. In this week's episode, Valerie talks with Dr. Herman "Flash" Gordon, Accepted medical school consultant and former admissions committee chair at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. Valerie and Flash discuss a question we hear almost daily from medical school applicants: How many med schools should I apply to? They discuss target ranges, the importance of fit, and the truth about "reach schools" and "safety schools."00:00 Welcome to the Admissions Straight Talk podcast00:37 Welcome Dr. Herman "Flash" Gordon02:13 How many med schools should you apply to? 03:25 The importance of fit06:02 School choice: Beyond GPA and MCAT scores10:08 Alignment with school's missions12:49 Reach, attainable, and safety schoolsRelated ResourcesMedical School Selectivity Index, a free toolMedical School Secondary Essay TipsSchedule a free consultation with Dr. GordonRelated ShowsHow to Overcome the Biggest Weaknesses in Med School Applications [Episode 605]Inside Pitt Med School: Innovations in Medical Education [Episode 602]Navigating Admissions at the University of Washington School of Medicine [Episode 601]Inside Geisinger Med School Admissions with Dr. Michelle Schmude [Episode 600]Follow UsYouTubeFacebookLinkedInContact Uswww.accepted.comsupport@accepted.com+1 (310) 815-9553

Is perimenopause more than hot flushes and night sweats? We go to Med School to find out if your breasts are not the only place that you can lactate from. And in our Quick Consult, why do we keep falling for the “sweet trap” of late-night junk food? In this episode, we talk to Dr Sonia Davison, an endocrinologist at the Jean Hailes Medical Centre and Past President of the Australian Menopause Society, to explore the long and unusual list of perimenopause symptoms - from dry vaginas, irritating itchiness and UTIs to vertigo and that pesky chin hair growth. We also discuss why doctors don’t rely on hormone tests to diagnose perimenopause and what’s really happening in your body during this ‘period of chaos’. Plus, why perimenopause can put a huge strain on relationships and how our partners can support us with open conversations about intimacy and emotional closeness.

How to Take Negative Feedback And Use It to Win in Med School Recently, our admissions coordinator Rachel was surprised by the reaction from an applicant CCOM chose not to admit. She'd set aside time to give the applicant some feedback on their application–an extra service we provide those who weren't successful in their bid to study medicine here. But instead of a thoughtful reaction to her notes, the unsuccessful applicant told her that they “didn't agree with any of that.” The problem with this attitude is that in medical school feedback is never ending! Students get notes on interpersonal skills, professional behaviors, clinical skills, your knowledge base. And the feedback comes from everyone involved: simulated patients, actual patients, faculty, residents, nurses, even each other! Sometimes the feedback is formal and written; sometimes it's verbal; and sometimes all you get is a raised eyebrow or a smile. Sometimes it's rough, other times it's SMART. So M2s Zach Grissom, Sahana Sarin, Srishti Mathur, and Jay Miller give their take on this vital skill in medicine: using feedback as data, as fuel for growth. They share stories of getting useful and useless feedback. And whether you love it or hate it, you'll leave with a playbook for using feedback to boost your success in medical school and your career. Also, we discuss a study on AI “de-skilling,” and recent shifts in the amount of research medical students are doing versus the number of service and humanities experiences they're doing.
