Dear D.O.

About Dear D.O.

Hello! My name is Michaele Garrison, host of Dear DO podcast. I'm a current neurology resident. My journey to medical school was chaotic to say the least, as it lacked structure as well as mentorship. When I looked online at other people’s experiences, I felt inadequate and lost. In a world of instagram-worthy medical content, it’s easy to feel subpar. Through my podcast, I hope those pursuing medicine will feel more seen and have the mentorship I wish I had.

   32 - As a Parent and Hopeful Physician, is Medical School Worth it?

   This episode, Dr. Herrell and I dive into a question from a listener who asked us about having a family during medical school. Can you have a family while pursuing medicine? Is it worth it? Does instagram romanticize being a parent and physician? What about PA school or NP school? And what is Grapico..? All this and more :) and as always, submit your own question at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfibaaN3R2PydLaHM0Ooh7lvPDtr2b8NfdV-QsUFnFCK6s6Rw/viewform?usp=pp_url Your question might get answered on the podcast!
