Beyond the White Coat: Finding Your Voice at the Patient’s Bedside

In Episode 5 of UMich Med Mosaic, host Mackenzie Kay talks with Josh Chen and Gabriel Culian about the transition from classroom learning to caring for real patients on the wards. They discuss first patient encounters, moving from standardized patient practice to clinical rotations, and learning how to build meaningful connections at the bedside. They also reflect on the role medical students can play in helping patients understand their care, supporting families during moments of serious illness and grief, and discovering the kind of compassionate, curious physicians they hope to become.Episode TranscriptLearn more about the programs at University of Michigan Medical SchoolUMich Med Mosaic is a part of the Michigan Medicine Podcast Network, and is produced by the Michigan Medicine Department of Communication.
