Today’s conversation is with Hunter Lau, who is an emergency medicine resident at Strong Memorial Hospital, and the group founder for Effective Altruism Medicine. We discuss some interesting points; for example, how focusing on impact can lead to unhappiness, the consequences of sub-optimal incentives in the medical education and the ways in which the typical medical student can stay resilient in working towards their long term goals. I hope you enjoy.
