About this listen

The journey to and through medicine is chaotic, stressful, and daunting. Yet, thousands work tirelessly every single day for medical school acceptances and successful physician jobs. But, why… Listen to practicing doctors and those in training share their journeys of “why”, how they’ve found success, and those “I wish I knew this before” life hacks. Hosted by Dr. Alana Jasper-Trotter (Dr. Trot), a surgeon by training and stubborn dreamer at her core.

  • How to Nail Your Residency Interview
    Aug 12 2024

    Today's episode is about how to shift the residency interview from a "stressful requirement" to your "secret weapon" regardless of your board scores, academic accolades, or numerous research publications.

    And if you're like me, you've been told some variation of:

    • "You won't make it."
    • "You're not good enough."
    • "Consider another career."

    May be the odds literally are against you, but all you need is one, "Yes".
