The Short Coat show

The Short Coat

Summary: Featuring a variety cast of medical students from the University of Iowa, The Short Coat is a brutally honest look at medicine, med school, and what life is like here at the margins of medicine. Skip this show if you'd prefer not to know and hate laughter. The opinions we share with you are formed by the sleep deprived, and are thus likely ill-considered and noticeably spur-of-the-moment. And definitely not those of the University of Iowa.

 A Med School “cocktail” party (no party sounds) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:26

Dave hosts a weird cocktail party for his co-hosts, M1s Fallon Jung and Taryn O'Brian, MD/PhD student Jacqueline Nielson, and M3 Chirayu Shukla. The group dives into a variety of topics: surreal dreams, spring break plans, which celebrity they would replace one of their organs with, book recommendations, personal stories, and AI-generated songs about Menards and Chirayu's curtailed tennis career. AI Song Lyrics A Podcaster at Heart I'm an administrative services coordinator But my heart's on the mic, a podcast connoisseurIn a cubicle, with paperwork piled high But all I wanna do is let my voice fly I got responsibilities, emails to send But my mind's on the episodes I haven't penned I sneak in headphones, catchin' up on my faves Dreamin' 'bout the day I'll be podcastin' my own ways (ooh-yeah) [Chorus]I'm a podcaster at heart Living for those podcastin' vibes, it's an art While spreadsheets stack up, I'm in my own zone Dreamin' 'bout the day when podcastin' is my throne The Jig of the Horse Loving Medic Oh, I'm a medical student, learnin' day and night But when I'm not studyin', I've got a different delight I love horses, they bring me so much joy And Menards, oh Menards, it's like a superstore of toys [Chorus]I take long walks down every aisle at Menards (oh yeah) From the lumber to the paint, it's never too hard (woo!) With a bounce in my step, and a twinkle in my eye (uh-huh) I'm a horse-loving medic, livin' life on a high (woo!) No Regrets [Verse] We don't care 'bout the grades, don't need no A's Livin' fast, we're in a disobedient phase Don't care 'bout the cash or the future ahead We're just here for the punk rock, not the life we're fed (ooh-yeah) [Chorus] No regrets, we don't give a damn Breakin' all the rules, stickin' it to the man No regrets, we live on the edge Skipping class, punk rock is what we pledge Medic or Tennis Star In the dead of night, I'm stuck in time, Torn between two paths, My heart's on the line, A love for medicine.

 The Sheriff is Watching, Ft. Bryan Carmody, MD | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 53:15

The Sheriff of Sodium investigates the state and future of medical training. If you’ve wondered how well the system that trains future doctors works, or about what factors really determine which medical students get into the most competitive residency programs, this episode is for you. M1 Fallon Jung, M2 Jeff Goddard, and M4 AJ Chowdhury get deep into these issues with a very special guest – Dr. Brian Carmody, known on his blog and YouTube channel as “The Sheriff of Sodium.” Dr. Carmody, a pediatric nephrologist by training, closely analyzes and shares data-driven perspectives on medical education, pulling on threads to understand whether the current medical training system is truly functional, fair, and efficient, examining factors like student debt burdens, physician shortages projections, and why people cheat on licensing exams. Like any good sheriff, Dr. Carmody is skeptical, especially about ideas like future physician shortages, and how schools report residency match outcomes.

 the Exam Table and Beyond: The Role of a Family Doctor | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:20:52

An alumni of CCOM and SCP returns to prove: you can do it! MD/PhD student Miranda Schene, M2 Jeff Goddard, and M1 Fallon Jung visit with alumni Teneme Konne, MD, now a second-year resident. They start by smacking their foreheads over AI-generated images in a recent medical journal, unpacking the rigorous demands of peer review and its pivotal role in scientific accuracy. The conversation then shifts to Dr. Konne’s journey in medicine, and the broad responsibilities of family medicine practitioners beyond clinical care. The resilience and growth he achieved during residency offer a comprehensive insight into the realities of becoming a doctor. Key moments include discussions on medical misinformation, the integral role of primary care physicians, and the personal and professional evolution experienced through residency. It wasn’t completely smooth, but he did it! And the crew discusses Medscape’s Physician Lifestyle & Happiness Report 2024. We Want to Hear From You: YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

 Bias, Baby Heads, and Memes | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 54:26

Understanding others begins with asking questions. M3 Jacob Hansen, and M1s Taryn O’Brien, Alex Nigg, and Fallon Jung consider recent studies highlighting the ineffectiveness of traditional implicit bias training and the disparities in medical care for children of color. Jacob successfully finished Step 1 and the co-hosts tap him for some of his insights from clinical rotations, particularly learning he won’t be pursuing a career in surgery. Dave tries to understand an important aspect of med student culture using his Gen X brain: memes, including their potential as educational tools. We Want to Hear From You: YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

 Love, Lobsters, and Loans: The Just Married Game | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:07:19

In the world of medicine, finding time for love is both an art and a science. Happy Valentines Day! MD/PhD student Faith Prochaska, and M1s Taryn O’Brien and Fallon Jung share how they navigate relationships amidst their hectic schedules. With quizmaster Jeff Emrich from student financial services, they play The Just Married Game and discuss their personal plans, the balance between work and personal life, and their insights into relationships in med school through a series of questions answered by their partners–can they guess what their partners think of them? The group also touches on the impact of medical school on their personal lives, highlighting the importance of communication and support in maintaining strong relationships.

 Med School is SIMPLE?! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:00:35

“I honestly have had the most relaxing time I’ve had in forever, and for anybody who’s like, that’s ridiculous, just wait.” The most charitable definition of a hot take is a position taken in order to generate conversation. The more usual definition is a position taken to create controversy (and clicks). Dave asked his co-hosts to come with some hot takes, and it’s up to you to decide which definition they’re using, but PA1 Conner Lieser and M1s Radha Velamuri, Amanda Litka, and Sri Nandakumar offer their hot takes on how hard med school is, the admissions process, shadowing, advice from more advanced students, and more.

 Sleeper specialty: Preventive Medicine ft. Silvia Caswell DO, MPH | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 55:29

Preventing disease and injury in life, the skies, and at work. It’s another sleeper specialty episode! This time we’re talking about a really low-key one: Preventive Medicine. M2 Jeff Goddard asked Dr. Silvia Caswell of Loma Linda University to join us to talk about her work in one aspect of prev med: lifestyle medicine. There are others under the prev-med umbrella, too, including occupational medicine and aerospace medicine. PA1 Conner Lieser is also on hand to talk about the training she completed, the work she does with patients, the differences between the work that primary care providers do and her work, and the day-to-day life of working in her specialty.

 Sleeper Specialty: Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Ft. Dr. Brittany Bettendorf | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 52:40

A relatively uncommon specialty can help move kids with childhood diseases to adult care. In another in our series on “sleeper specialties,” we visit with Internal Medicine-Pediatrics (med-peds) doc Brittany Bettendorf. M1 Alex Nigg and M2 Madeline Ungs learn about this lesser known specialty that combines the detective work of internal medicine with a focus on kids with childhood diseases, including managing their transition to adult care. There aren’t many residencies for med-peds, which alone makes it a sleeper! And Dr. Bettendorf talks about her work in medical humanities at CCOM as a Medicine and Society course director, Humanities Distinction Track co-director, editor of our literary journal, and more.

 Why Having a Pet in Med School is a Good Idea (Recess Rehash) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:05:39

They may not help us pass our exams…but they definitely have upsides A common question new medical students have is whether they should get a pet. Will they feel neglected when I have to be at the hospital or the library? Will they be too expensive for a poor med student? Will they be too much work? The answer to those questions can be answered by realizing that PLENTY of us do own pets, and we all do just fine. Also, Dave cornered some frightened-looking M1s during orientation for some people-on-the-street interviews. Riley, Mao, Madi and Matt discuss their answers.

 Hot Takes: Med School Edition (Part 1?) (Recess Rehash) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:06:01

These might be very bad ideas…but we’ll talk about them anyway. Riley leads a discussion with Jeff, Levi, and Katie of unpopular opinions about medicine and medical education. Anki sucks! Gap years should be mandatory! All clerkships should be optional! 8th graders should review scientific papers! We don’t know about you, listeners, but the co-hosts enjoyed this discussion so much you can look for a part 2 in December! We Want to Hear From You: YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

 Belief at the Bedside (Recess Rehash) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 58:53

Faith is an important part of the human condition–let’s explore that. M1 Hend invited David Kozishek, a chaplain at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, to talk with M3 AJ, M1 Jeff and new co-host M1 Ervina to talk about the role of chaplains on the healthcare team. David also helps the co-hosts discuss the role that religion may play in their lives as future physicians, the tensions and compatibilities between evidence and faith, and how they might respond when their own beliefs may in conflict with standard practices. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode–does religion play a big part of your life? How would you respond to the scenarios we talked about?

 Classroom Challenges and Global Goals | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 59:24

What the first semester of medical school is actually like! Short Coat co-hosts Brian Young (M1), Jeff Goddard (M2), and Fallon Jung (M1) discussed the challenges and experiences of medical school, including personal anecdotes about coping with stress, the demands of the curriculum, maintaining emotional well-being, the significance of peer support, and the importance of learning from both academic and personal experiences. Brian talked about a student-led initiative, Nets for Nets, aimed at providing mosquito nets to a community in Southern Mexico, illustrating the blend of medical education with social responsibility. Also, Dave shows his co-hosts pairs of images he got an AI to make, and his co-hosts try to work out which is the most like their actual medical school experiences thus far.

 What Medicine Really Needs from Artificial Intelligence, ft. Ilana Yurkiewicz (pt. 2) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 58:47

Bringing the healthcare pieces together. Dr. Ilana Yurkiewicz, co-director of Stanford University’s Primary Care for Cancer Survivorship Program, author, and science journalist, returns to continue our discussion from November 9 about our fragmented health system and what can be done about it. M2 Jeff Goddard, M1s Fallon Jung and Alex Nigg, and MD/PhD student Jacqueline Nielson talk with her about what’s missing from the medical safety nets that help low SES patients get emergency care, what kind of AI we really need to bind pieces of of the system together (hint: AIs that offer differential diagnoses and other doctor stuff probably isn’t it!), and the need for continuous incremental change in medicine. If we’re ever going to get there, she says, we need a collaborative approach with involvement from various stakeholders in healthcare, including patients, healthcare workers, programmers, insurance companies, and policymakers. The aim: to move medicine from a fee-for-service model to one that is driven by the actual value doctors provide their patients (and that removes bureaucratic burdens instead of creates them).
