Medical milestones

Milestones in medicine are often thought of as getting over the next professional hurdle - we’re always thinking about passing our next exam, advancing to our next year of medical school or training, or finally becoming a consultant. But in reality, are these the moments that truly feel like significant milestones? Instead, what if we shifted our mindset to thinking about all of the things that feel personally important, but not really institutionally important. If the things we placed all of our significance on were not passing our exams, but instead the first time someone said well done or that you’d make a really great doctor.    Check us out on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/BMJStudent  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bmj_student/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BMJStudent/     This podcast is produced and edited by Dom Byrne and Duncan Jarvies.
