  • Fantastic Resource for Pre-Health Students!

    This podcast is such an amazing resource for pre-health students! Access to shadowing opportunities can be difficult to obtain, but this podcast certainly helps supplement those experiences. I love the opportunity to hear from experts across so many roles and specialties in medicine—ones I likely wouldn’t have the chance to learn about without the podcast. Give it a listen, I’m certain you won’t regret it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Service Becomes Identity: Healing The Invisible Amputations | Rachel Howard
Q: How do you view the role of health-care leadership in politics, and what should change?
Leaders with hands-on experience should be in charge to bridge the gap between policy and ground realities, ensuring policies are practical and effective for patients and providers alike.
When Service Becomes Identity: Healing The Invisible Amputations | Rachel Howard
Q: What led you to transition from clinical/medical work to public service and politics?
A decision to leave the VA due to a conflict of interest and a declaration to run for U.S. Senate in Michigan, driven by a desire to fix systemic problems from the top down and improve outcomes for service members and veterans.
When Service Becomes Identity: Healing The Invisible Amputations | Rachel Howard
Q: What does it mean to be a combat medic, and how did that shape your career path?
The context is that combat medics provide a broad, flexible range of care in challenging environments, which planted the seed for a lifelong commitment to emergency medicine and service, later informing her pivot into public health and politics.
Holding The Line Between Crisis And Care | Jessi Beyer, MHP
Q: What do you wish future clinicians understood about suicide risk and screening beyond the emergency room?
75% of people who die by suicide saw a primary care physician in the year before, yet screening is often missing. Every clinician can ask targeted questions and perform risk assessments to intervene and potentially save lives.
Holding The Line Between Crisis And Care | Jessi Beyer, MHP
Q: What does success look like in crisis negotiation, and how do outcomes matter when beds are scarce or outpatient options have wait lists?
Success is keeping people alive and getting them to a viable next step, whether hospital or appropriate services. The ideal is a safety plan that allows a severely depressed teen to stay home and return to school, with follow-up improvements over time.
