The Curbsiders Internal Medicine Podcast

Tools, tips and tactics to survive intern year from Alex Glaser MD (PENN) and Saumil Chudgar MD @saumilchudgar (Duke). It’s our latest offering from ACP’s IMpower series for residents!  The transition from medical student to intern is one of the world’s most notorious times in a career, and tales of woe from intern year have even permeated into TV shows and movies.  Ultimately, while the transition seems daunting with multiple challenges, it should not be feared. Many physicians look back fondly on this early time in their training, and life-long friendships often develop among an intern class.  This is a time of major growth, and unease about intern year should be met with excitement for the career that is yet to come!
