The jury’s still out on reflective first year sentiments, but it’s been gratifying to share my thoughts back from the very beginning of medical school.
I had the honor of reading my “Letter to a Young Doctor” on the medical documentary series White Coat, Black Art. The radio show ran on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Canada’s national public radio and television broadcaster–similar to America’s NPR or PBS).
Link to audio–my piece is at 22:00.
