Residency Unpacked
Getting into a residency program is one of the most challenging stages in a physician’s career, and I want to help you get into a program. In this podcast we discuss topics like gaining the right experience before applying, how to perform well during interviews, ways to prepare for residency, and how to do well once you’re in. I understand your pain: I was an international medical graduate and had a two-year gap between graduation and applying to residency. I matched into a program, became chief resident, stayed on as faculty for two years before being promoted to Residency Program Director. I know how stressful this journey can be, so I want to share all my experience and knowledge to help you achieve your goals. My advice is honest, to the point, and encouraging. Listen to the weekly episodes and send me questions or comments so I can address what keeps you up at night!

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
