In this episode, hosts Julianna Brinston and Brianna Barrett sit down with Mary Jane Butler and Abigail Schwartz for an open and reflective conversation about what it means to navigate medical school as a first-generation medical student. Together, they explore the hidden curriculum of medicine — from deciphering unspoken expectations and professional norms, to managing imposter syndrome, financial pressures, and the weight of representing family and community for the first time in academic medicine.
