How the Sausage is Made: Why Doctors–and Students–Must Engage In Politics
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 04/23/2020 - 04:00
Policy is not sexy. I mean, it's not saving lives, or curing disease, or making groundbreaking discoveries. But it isn't a stretch to say that policy is as important as any of these, because politicians are making decisions about health and healthcare that affect millions of patients and their physicians. The laws they come up with determine what you can do for your patients, how you practice medicine, how you get paid, what kinds of care are legal or illegal, and much, much more. Seems like something doctors should pay attention to, perhaps even get directly involved with.

Dave wants to help his co-hosts–M1s Nathan Spitz, Cody West, and newbs Chris Halbur and Eli Schmidt–in their journey to physician-hood, so he puts on his medical educator hat and visits Yahoo! Answers. He also discovers that when discussing his complaint with the doctor, he wants to be the crudest possible kind of patient.

Dave asked listeners what they’re doing to help out in the time of COVID-19 and got some responses back to talk about. These things, whether big or small, directly related or tangential to this public health crisis–even if it means staying at home–are all part of an unusual effort among the people of the world to contribute to a greater purpose. Whether it’s making PPE, making explainer videos, picking up garbage outside, or staying home, it’s all important.
Podcasting from A (social) distance

(For the first time ever, we did the show with all five hosts in different places, and it shows. Forgive the scratchy audio in some places. We’re working on it, and hope you can look past it this time.)
In this time of social distancing, The Short Coats reluctantly step back from their education and research. New co-hosts M1s Ananya Munjal and Claire Carmichael, along with MD/PhD students Aline Sandouk and Miranda Schene, discuss the national residency Match statistics, what their lives look like as they distance themselves from other humans.
