Description

Residency is one of the most challenging, and defining, stages of becoming a doctor. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Kamran Tate, a second-year internal medicine resident, to hear what life is really like on the frontlines of medicine. From the steep learning curve of day one to balancing 12-hour shifts, navigating the ICU, and relying on the wisdom of nurses and mentors, Dr. Tate shares the unfiltered reality behind the white coat. We also dive into the mindset it takes to survive residency , from stoicism and mindfulness to finding humor in the chaos. Dr. Tate opens up about social media as a creative outlet, the misconceptions people have about doctors, and how medicine has shaped his outlook on life. Whether you’re a medical student, considering healthcare, or just curious about the human side of medicine, this conversation offers insight, honesty, and inspiration.
