Student Perspectives - Doctor Friends

What this episode covers

Christian and Tomás interview Joshua, a medical student focused on informatics, immunology, and improving trust and communication in healthcare. Josh describes how early exposure his oncologist father's work and an interest in science led him to medicine. He shares a clinical encounter in which a patient’s narrative conflicted with her chart history, prompting discussion about why patients might omit details, ways in which power and identity dynamics shape disclosure and how clinicians should respond. The doctors weigh up “chart lore” and push for the need of multiple perspectives to build understanding. Josh also introduces Alethia, a student group he co-founded that is aimed at countering health misinformation through interdisciplinary education.Dhruv Khullar - The Role of Doctors Is Changing Forever (The New Yorker, Dec 2025)This episode was recorded remotely in February 2026.
