Mental Health and the Medicine in Media: A Conversation with Dr. Jake Goodman
2024/02/19
Welcome to the Beyond the Scope Podcast presented by ND MD. This podcast continues the mission of sharing the incredible stories and experiences of students, physicians, and healthcare professionals...but this time it's all about the things all those years of medical training doesn't prepare you for. Things that are beyond the scope of our practice. As we roll in the new year, and myself and Tyler begin to reflect on how to balance creativity and medicine once again as a resident doctor. Joined by the one and only Dr. Jake Goodman, this conversation dives deep into one of the most taboo topics in medicine, mental health. In 2024 and beyond, our hope is that the stories we share, and experiences you face, and support around you encourages you to always say AND, not OR.

This podcast continues the mission of sharing the incredible stories and experiences of students, physicians, and healthcare professionals...but this time it's all about the things all those years of medical training doesn't prepare you for. Things that are beyond the scope of our practice. One of my favorite episodes of this whole podcast, Dr. Laura Vater, a GI oncologist and talented writer regarding medical student and resident wellness breaks down some of the ways medical training has changed and must change for the better. Somehow I ended up being a case study in this episode as this is a very much "do as I say, not as I do" story since I recorded this only a couple hours after arriving back home from a redeye cross country flight.

How Hard Are You Willing to Work to Become a Doctor?
2023/07/24
Welcome to the Beyond the Scope Podcast presented by ND MD. This podcast continues the mission of sharing the incredible stories and experiences of students, physicians, and healthcare professionals...but this time it's all about the things all those years of medical training doesn't prepare you for. Things that are beyond the scope of our practice. Today I get to welcome back to the channel an old friend of mine who supported this podcast from the very beginning. From struggling with imposter syndrome, motivation, and academic identity in high school, Will has become an excellent example of the mantra that "hard work is greater than talent." Many feel because they were not inherently placed in gifted or honors classes throughout their educational journey that they are not worthy of the title of physician, and Will's story is here to encourage those with that frame of mind that the grade school system, and grades in general, are not a definition of your ability to be a courageous and caring doctor.
