Sacrifice It All to be A Med Student? Don’t Do It!
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

Listener Arman is starting school this fall, and is feeling something many do at the start of this journey: that in order to succeed, he'll have to do nothing but study. Will he'll have to sacrifice his outside interests to succeed? Kylie Miller, Matt Wilson, Teneme Konne and Patrick Brau admit that medical students love to talk about how hard it is and how much time they give to their new lives. To be sure, sacrifice is a part of learning to be a doctor. But they do have reassuring words for those who worry their identities are about to be ransacked. Plus, Yahoo! Answers leave us with more questions than we started with...like, did the fruit fly regain consciousness? We also discuss a study from Sweden that looks at whether drones can deliver life-saving automatic emergency defibrillators to heart attack victims faster than EMS can get to them. And we explore the power of names to get you to eat your vegetables. We want to hear from you. If you have fears we could address, and think we are the best people to do so, who are we to question your judgement? Call us at 347-SHORTCT any time, and email [email protected].
