ABOUT THE SURVIVING & THRIVING IN RESIDENCY PODCAST

This ongoing series, hosted by PracticeLink Director of Graduate Medical Education (GME) Outreach Director Charley Lowry, focuses on the journey to become a physician — from med school through residency and fellowship. These episodes, released weekly, consist of Charley leading a thoughtful discussion with healthcare professionals who share tips and insightful information from their own medical journey to inform and provide priceless guidance for the next generation of prospective healers. Medical students, residents and fellows can all benefit from the candid conversations, which are often based on questions and topics directly supplied by those who are in the early steps of their healthcare careers.
