[All Dave’s co-hosts were busy doing med student things when it came time to record, but it’s okay–they told him to just post a rerun. Enjoy!]
What you get away with as an undergrad won’t serve you in med school.
M2s Jacob and Maddie, M4 Mason and new co-host PA2 Mark take us through how they changed their study habits from undergrad through the clinical years.
Dave reads an old German folktale about how to become a doctor. Hint: it’s harder today, and involves much less mansplaining, but there’s at least one feature that still exists from antiquity.

M2s Matt, Caroline, and Maddie, and PA2 Ariele, discuss what they’re thinking about with respect to healthcare issues in the US November 2022 mid-term elections.
Mental health, lowering costs, the primary and knock-on effects of abortion bans, and more, are all issues that healthcare voters may be considering.
Short Coats may not all agree on these issues. Instead, what’s important is simply to vote.
Editorial note: one statement made in a previous version of this episode, that the origins of policing started as slave patrols in the south, is not completely accurate. You can read more about that common misconception here. We’ve removed that statement from the episode.

We visit with two premeds–Deeraj and Daniel–who are proving that competing with classmates is a losing strategy for studying medicine.

As the end of their first year in medical school approaches, M1s summarize their experience
Dave asks his co-hosts to discuss the ups and downs of their first year, which some will argue is the hardest.
What were their social lives like? How much leisure time do they get? What about sleep?
Dave loves a good case study, so he subjects the crew to some to see if they can guess the patients’ conditions.
