Welcome to “Dauntless Doctors Department”
the podcast that uncovers the unspoken truths of med school.
From controversial topics , to the struggles we all face but never discuss.
we dive deep into the reality behind the white coat.
Dauntless Doctors Department is where we uncover the hidden truths, the untold struggles, and the raw realities of life in medicine.
📍Episode 9: Medicine Beyond Earth? 🚀
In this episode, we’re joined by an Acıbadem University medical stager and the winner of the 2026 ALIS Congress Award.
Together, Diba and Alper talk about getting into research, working on space medicine, and why medicine isn’t limited to the clinic or the OR.
We also discuss something every medical student eventually faces:
the uncertainty of the final years of medical school, making career decisions, and finding your own path.
Whether you’re interested in research, clinical medicine, or still figuring things out, this conversation is for you.
We hope this episode encourages you to explore opportunities beyond the traditional path and reminds you that there’s no single way to build a career in medicine.

Two truths, one lie !?
📍Episode 8: 🎭 2 truths, one lie
In this episode, we’re trying something different.
Gizem and Diba share three unexpected clinical experiences.
two are true, one is a lie.
And the others have to figure out which one isn’t.
But this isn’t just a game.
For the first time, we’re stepping away from only talking about the struggles and pressures of medical school.
Instead, we’re sharing the most interesting, unexpected, and even shocking moments we’ve experienced ,the kind of stories that made us pause, question things, or completely change our perspective.
Some of these will sound too strange to be true.
Some truths might feel like lies.
So listen closely, trust your instincts,
and see if you can tell the difference.
Because sometimes, the most unbelievable stories…
are the real ones.
