Spring Break Trivia with a Twist

Share

Med students are smart, but how much useless info can they spout?

  • It’s Spring Break, so we’re taking a break from our usual content to bring you a trivia contest featuring M4 Emerald, MD/PhD students Riley and Faith, and CCOM Learning Communities Coordinator Cody.
  • Dave created a trivia bot using chatGPT, and to ratchet up the tension, he poured some shots of mysterious and probably unpleasant liquids to punish his co-hosts’ wrong answers.
  • Happily for his co-hosts, it didn’t work out well for Dave.

Med School is a Transformative Experience

  • PA 1 Kelsey, M1 Faith, M3 Rick, and M4 Ananya talk about the changes they’ve seen in themselves since arriving at medical school.
  • No matter how prepared you are, there are some things about being a medical student that can’t be understood until you are one…and until you’re almost done with medical school.
  • Listener Cathy, a registered nutritionist dietician, wants to go to medical school after 25 years in healthcare…but her physician friends think she’s crazy. Should she trust her gut, or the people ‘living the dream?’

How medical students keep from going nuts while programs and schools decide they’re worthy

  • This is the season of uncertainty, as both pre-meds and med ask themselves, “will they let me in?”
  • It’s out of their hands, but M4 Mason, M3 Ananya Munjal, and M1s Jeff and Faith have some experience to draw upon to keep you from going nuts.
  • Also, we discuss the revolt underway as medical schools around the country back away from the US News and World Reports rankings.
