7 of my absolute favorite 🎙️ podcast 🎙️episodes from 2022. Staying true to my purpose here, these provide valuable knowledge about the "soft skills" of #academicphysicianlife. Plus, they are just nerdy fun I hope you find them enjoyable and learn as much as I did #medtwitter

Your child’s pediatrician probably has never seen a case of polio, diphtheria, measles, congenital rubella, or even H. influenzae type b meningitis. We have vaccines to thank for that. Let’s not allow short memory spans and misinformation to take us back to a much darker time.

Undergrads: I’ll be happy when I get into med school. Med students: I’ll be happy when I get into residency. Residents: I’ll be happy when I’m an attending. Attendings: I’ll be happy when I retire. 99% of physicians have the ‘I’ll Be Happy When’ disease Here’s how to fix it:
