WARNING: We get into topics relating to addiction from beginning of this episode. Please understand this is how Cody tells his story and continues on his journey - we recognize this can be jarring to listeners who are meeting him where he is at now!
Join Jack as he listens to Cody’s story, as this episode is for everyone. Hear how resilience, goal-setting, and trained-discipline helped Cody climb from his rock-bottom to being a competitive triathlete and gaining acceptance into one of the best universities in the US.
Continuation of Part 1! Here we talk about ethics relating to the field, life considerations/family planning, and key takeaways from our discussion overall!
Our guest today is Mackenzie Mitchell, who at the time of recording, successfully matched into residency for OBGYN. We chat about her journey into the field from undergraduate studies through her time as a medical student in NYC. This episode is a great listen, especially for anyone interested in OBGYN or training in a busy city.
Shouts out to Riley for setting us up with important topics to cover, despite being away for the taping of this episode - we missed him.
Part 2 coming soon!
Jack and Riley help map out what third and fourth year of medical school should look like, both for those applying to highly competitive and those applying to more general specialties. This is a good look into how the second half of medical school operates, and how to prepare for scheduling aways, applications, and testing.
Join the fellas as they recap the last few months and reflect on match day which happened one week ago today. Tons of life updates and information on how the match process works. As always, let us know if you have any suggestions or questions!
Today we are joined by one of our closest friends and colleagues, Kyanna Alleyne, to talk about her journey to medical school as a student athlete. A lot of the advice we give today applies to any student looking to better their application but struggle to find the time. Let us know your thoughts!
Despite our greatest intentions, we did not talk about Emergency Medicine in this podcast - do not be fooled by the intro! We spoke about residency application season, 4th year electives, research opportunities, and things to look forward to in the year ahead. We recorded this on a livestream, with real-time listener interactions! Thank you for joining us.
- Riley and Jack
Everything we’ve learned about being a good sub intern, all in one place. Today we talk about our experiences with away rotations, ways we can be helpful, and going from regular clerkships to the increased responsibility as a sub-I.
Join Jack and Riley as they discuss everything Step 2 related. With Step 1 being pass fail, Step 2 is becoming increasingly important each year. Today the guys talk about how to best prepare, how to schedule, aim points, practice exams, and much more. Stay tuned for the motivational speech at the end!
Thank you all so much for the support since we've been gone. We have a ton to update you on, and this episode is just the beginning. Life, school, and extracurricular changes have been happening in a big way, and for the first time in 6 months, Riley and Jack got to sit down and talk it through. Get ready for more content coming soon!
Cardiologist, professor, entrepreneur, and now officially a published author. We are so grateful to be joined again by Dr. Jason Ryan, founder of Boards and Beyond. So much has happened since the last time we talked. Today, we discuss selling Boards and Beyond, traveling the world for conferences, expanding to new regions, and, of course, his process in publishing his new book "The Gunner," found here: https://www.amazon.com/Gunner-Jason-Ryan/dp/1950109313. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
