  • The Surprising Connection Between Hobbies and Medicine

    The Surprising Connection Between Hobbies and Medicine
    Jan 29 2026
    Don’t give up the outside activities that’ll make you a better doc As Dave has observed many times, medicine will take everything you have, if you allow it to. What this means is that you have to carve out time for your own interests, whether you’re a physician or a medical student. These are the things that not only keep you sane–an outlet for all the intensity that the study and practice of medicine has to offer–but they can even make you better at surgery or how positively your patients view you. M1s Ben Cooper, Reese Rosenmeyer, Arielle Weber, and Reed Adajaar talk about their hobbies, what they get out of them as hard-working medical students, where they prioritize them in their lives, and why it’s sometimes even easier to enjoy them in med school than it was as undergrads. Dave offers some findings on how having outside interests makes doctors great. And the crew answers a question from Nicole, a mother of three little ones and military wife who, at the ripe old age of 35, is contemplating how she can pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor.

  • Med Students Take the Hot Nugget Challenge

    Med Students Take the Hot Nugget Challenge
    Jan 22 2026
    [Content warning: Dave did his best to remove sniffles.] Spicy chicken nuggets, bad decisions, and what happens when medical students test their heat tolerance on mic What happens when medical students, extremely spicy chicken nuggets, and microphones collide? Regret. M1s Reed Adajaar, Trever Maiers, Ben Cooper, and Matt Taylor assigned themselves a Hot Ones–style challenge featuring progressively hotter sauces on chicken nuggets. Confidence is high at the start. That does not last. As the Scoville units climb, so do the sweating, the panic, and the chaos at the table. Milk appears. Milk fails. Conversation continues anyway—exploring their goals for a new semester, their knowledge of anatomy, and how their past experiences are serving them as they go through med school. Things start off mostly coherent, move towards entertaining attempts at coherence, and finally devolving into incoherence as the magnitude of their error in suggesting this episode becomes truly apparent. This episode is light on medicine, heavy on heat, and fully committed to the bit. If you’ve ever said “How bad could it be?”—this episode has an answer.

  • Tips and Tricks for Crushing it in Clerkships

    Tips and Tricks for Crushing it in Clerkships
    Jan 15 2026
    What to expect for med students moving from classroom to exam room The beginning of clerkships mark a medical student’s progress from theoretical learning to practical application of what they’ve been taught. This past week, our M2s received a 4-day long orientation to clerkships (we call it “transitions week”), and M2s Samantha Gardner and Alexis Baker were joined by M3s Fallon Jung and Zach Case to talk about this important milestone. What are clerkships like? How will students know what to actually do? Who will they be working with? What are residents and attendings looking for when they evaluate a clerkship student? How should they react when a patient says something out-of-pocket? There’s so much to be learned in clerkships…including that they really are prepared to enter the real world, even if they don’t yet feel it!
