The Surprising Connection Between Hobbies and Medicine

from The Short Coat: An Inside Look at Getting Into and Getting Through Medical School · host Dave Etler and the Students of the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine

Medicine will take everything you have, if you allow it to. What this means is that you have to carve out time for your own interests, whether you're a physician or a medical student. These are the things that not only keep you sane--an outlet for all the intensity that the study and practice of medicine has to offer--but they can even make you better at surgery or how positively your patients view you. Also, the crew answers a question from Nicole, a mother of three little ones and military wife who, at the ripe old age of 35, is contemplating how she can pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor.
