Life as a Student

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Guests: Mary Lang; Caroline M. Gearin; Nick R. Winder, SPT

Students in the various fields of medicine deal with a variety of stresses. Perhaps one of the biggest stresses is getting accepted into their respective school to begin their training. Once enrolled, they’re then provided a large amount of information to be memorized and essentially need to learn a new language. They have pressure to do well on exams and spend countless hours in study or on the wards. Many students deal with financial stresses, often graduating with a tremendous student loan debt. So, what’s life like as a student? How do students deal with these stresses? What’s the application procedure like and are there ways to increase the chances of getting accepted? Do our schools devote enough time to our students’ wellness and burn-out prevention? These are some of the questions we’ll cover in this podcast as we discuss “Life as a Student”. My three guests are all students in a variety of medical training programs. Mary Lang is a 2nd year medical student at the Mayo Alix School of Medicine after obtaining a degree in biomedical engineering. Caroline Gearin is a 2nd year physician assistant student at the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences and also has a bachelor’s degree in health science. Nick Winder is a 2nd year physical therapy student at the Mayo Clinic physical therapy doctoral program.
