A Podcast for Iatroblasts: Ian Drummond’s “The Undifferentiated Medical Student”
The Short Coat: An Inside Look at Getting Into and Getting Through Medical School - A podcast by Dave Etler and the Students of the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine - Thursdays
Categories:
Ian Drummond is a fourth-year student at Case Western. When it came time to consider what specialty to go into, Ian realized he didn't have the knowledge needed to make an informed choice. So he did what anyone would do: started a podcast in which he will interview physicians from all 120 medical specialties listed on the AAMC's Careers in Medicine site. Okay, not everyone would do that, but he did, and iatroblasts everywhere owe him a huge thank you. Because while it is a massive undertaking it is also super helpful! Cole Cheney, Tarun Kadaru, Liza Mann, and Hillary O'Brien spoke with Ian to find out what he's learning from his guests on The Undifferentiated Medical Student. We also discuss the challenges and benefits of podcasting for busy med students. Listeners, share your thoughts with us each week.
