Coming From a Medical Family
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

On Inauguration Day, listener Tekia (and we hope that's spelled right) called to let us know that we were helping her stay frosty. Another listener, Liza, wrote wondering if her peers with MD family members are at an advantage in medical school. Co-hosts John Pienta and Adam Erwood (who have physicians in their immediate families) and Kylie Miller and Rob Humble (who don't) are happy to discuss the blessings supposedly showered upon those for whom medicine is a family business, and how those who aren't so fortunate can soldier on without those advantages. Also, birds don't break wind. Thanks for letting us know, Twitter. Listeners, share your thoughts with us each week. Call us at 347-SHORTCT any time, and see our Facebook page for a question to consider every week.
