Does Your Personality Pick Your Medical Specialty? (10/1/2026) - The guy who discovered handwashing prevented deaths after childbirth was kind of a jerk, calling everyone who didn't believe him "murderers." Did his personality prevent the adoption of one of the most important innovations in medicine ever? New co-hosts Olivia Masterson and Caroline Van Bell, along with returning co-hosts Lilly Schmidt and Melia Patrick, talk with Dave about personality in medicine. Or at least, the pop-psych version. Carver College of Medicine admissions is running free virtual sessions for anyone thinking about becoming a physician. Get your questions answered! The next one is Tuesday, October 6th at 6 p.m. Register at https://theshortcoat.com/applying!
