“I am in the process of applying to medical schools in Canada and I find this very informative. I wish there is a similar podcast in the Canadian context though…(or maybe I’ll make one later)”

“Overall very informative - there aren’t a lot of other resources like this. Many of the guests provide great advice and are very thoughtful, and Ian usually asks insightful questions.
However, some of the episodes drag a little and I wish he would cover some specialties more before delving into...”Read full review »

Thank you for paving the way for me to become a better student and...”Read full review »

“I started to listen to this podcast in the first week of my M1 year. I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I was listening to every episode regardless of the speciality. Now, more than half way through my M2 year, I try to listening to anything pertaining to anesthesia(my primary interest). I’m...”Read full review »

“As a non-traditional M1 coming from a business background, medical school has been a pretty overwhelming change and leaves not a lot of time for shadowing and career exploration.

“This is great for those who have no idea what they want to do. For others who know, the 4th year episodes were helpful guidance, though I had heard much of it before. His interview style has improved, though sometimes it can be awkward or cut people off. In the future, could explore applicants in...”Read full review »

Thank you for crushing it in these interviews. You ask thoughtful questions and are confident enough to push attendings when they don’t fully answer your questions. It is oddly inspirational.

“Just what I needed! Great effort, thanks man! Minus one star because you keep going back to your standardised questions even when they are obviously not relevant, or already have been answered, and ruin the flow. Can you just let people talk? PS can you do ophto? Thanks in advance.”

“Listen to speciality stories instead. This is basically Ian recording personal interviews for the specialty he cares about (ortho) he doesn't interview much else fairly and is clearly biased in his interview selections. Not very helpful. Listen to specialty stories instead, it's less...”Read full review »
