Riley used to keep balance between the pre-meds, preclinical medical students, and applicants at various points in their training. But that all changed when the Intern Year attacked. Apologies to anyone who hasn’t gotten around to watching the Avatar The Last Airbender series. Just look up the intro sequence… then come back for this episode.Anyway, Riley has re-emerged - the Charleston Chump, the Mount Pleasant Peasant, the Folly Beach Fool. He’s back to save us with Intern Year wisdom.Join Riley and Jack to chat about Riley’s life as an orthopedic surgery intern in South Carolina. Listen to hear what intern year is like, experiences that have changed his perspective, and finding balance in life outside of training.
WARNING: We get into topics relating to addiction from beginning of this episode. Please understand this is how Cody tells his story and continues on his journey - we recognize this can be jarring to listeners who are meeting him where he is at now!

Hear how resilience, goal-setting, and trained-discipline helped Cody climb from his rock-bottom to being a competitive triathlete and gaining acceptance into one of the best universities in the US.

Our guest today is Mackenzie Mitchell, who at the time of recording, successfully matched into residency for OBGYN.
