Trading In Tights For Scrubs - Part 1

(Repost - Original posting on&nbsp;January 13, 2013) It's pretty common for healthcare workers to wear ID badges so that patients and visitors not only know who people, but in which capacity they provide care.&nbsp; Many hospitals have taken that a step further and also require employees to wear title badges that, in bigger letters, say RN, RT, TECH, or even doctors.&nbsp; One of the odd things that has come from this is the exposure of osteopathic doctors to the public consciousness.&nbsp; When their doctor comes in and their badge says DO instead of MD, it usually leads to the same question; "What's the difference anyways?" If MDs and DOs work side by side, then what is the difference in their training?&nbsp; Do they use different meds?&nbsp; Different techniques?&nbsp; IS the training different? When the goal of taking care of patients is to provide the gold standard of care, then is their really even a difference between MDs and DOs?&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; While you are checking out Dr. Gray's podcast in iTunes, don't forget to subscribe to  The Lost In PreMed Podcast, leave a comment or review about what you think of the episode!

What's The Difference Anyway?

In my 2nd (or 3rd) semester of med school I was at a workshop that talked about time management and study skills. Being in school for as long as I have, I've heard most of general principles before, but there was one thing that afternoon that caught my attention.&nbsp; After going back to my study spot, I noticed that one of the biggest study pit-falls that I had fallen into because I didn't really think it was a big deal.&nbsp; Turns out I was wrong. In this episode, I'm going to talk about the potential magnitude of picking up your phone "just for a minute" while studying and what those ripples can translate to when it comes time for finals.

15 min = 24 hours; Change My Mind

I have finally made it to my 4th year of med school and I am loving every minute of it.&nbsp; Unfortunately, that wasn't always the case.&nbsp; There have been moments where I was worn thin and pushed to my limits.&nbsp; In this episode, I share an experience that completely changed my outlook on my clinical experience and it has made a world of difference. In addition to talking about this experience, I was also fortunate to have an article that I wrote about it, published by LifeofaMedStudent.com.&nbsp; If you would like to read the article, you can find it here.
