Warning: Minutes 3-7 include somewhat distorted audio so if it remains too bothersome, skip to around 7 minutes for a crisper, cleaner audio.  Dr. Robin Hicks of Boston Children's Hospital joins for the inaugural podcast to tell us a bit about her path through medicine and how she ended up in Boston. She gives plenty of great advice on how to approach studying, avoid burnout, and who is fit to specialize in pediatrics.

At the end, Dr. Hicks takes on the rapid-fire 20 random questions where she talks about fighting off waves of geese, answers interview questions, and proves that she knows way more about trees than you would expect...
