  • Tales from the OR
    Aug 25 2025

    We can't get enough of the OR vibes. Step inside the operating room with us as we share what daily life really looks like behind the sterile drapes. From the little rituals that set the tone for a smooth case, to the pet peeves that can throw off the flow, we’re covering it all. We’ll talk about what’s playing through the speakers , the things that make a surgery day go well, and swap some of our favorite OR stories. Whether you’re a provider, student, or just curious what happens in the hidden world of the OR, this episode gives you a candid look at the quirks, chaos, and moments that keep us coming back.

  • The Team Player

    Episode 2 – The Team Player 🎧
    Being a PA means more than diagnosing, treating, and assisting in the OR — it’s about building trust, fostering collaboration, and making the team stronger for both patients and providers.

    In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what it really takes to be a team player in medicine:

    • How to create genuine connections with patients and earn their trust
    • The keys to a strong PA/Doctor partnership
    • Real stories of teamwork in action (and lessons learned along the way)

    Whether you’re a PA student, a new grad, or just curious about how the provider team works behind the scenes, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and honest advice from our own experiences in orthopedics and sports medicine.
