Ep. 24 - Generational Differences

Residency training is constantly evolving...but is it getting better? In this episode, we explore generational differences in medical training through a conversation between a current resident (Dr. Sanjana Satish) and an attending physician (Dr. Uduak Andy) over a decade removed from residency. Together, they discuss how duty hours, technology, wellness initiatives, supervision, autonomy, and work-life balance have changed over time, along with the advantages and tradeoffs of each era of training. Whether you're a trainee, educator, or simply curious about how medicine has evolved, we offer a thoughtful look at what has changed — and what has stayed the same.

Ep. 23 - Hot Takes from the Call Room (Strong Opinions, Weak Evidence)

From schedule chaos at the end of the year to the surprising joys of chief year, we unpack the residency hot takes we’re willing to defend — and invite listeners to decide where they stand.
