Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! TL;DR * Should Victoria also get a law degree to facilitate a career in health policy?* Shea sends feedback on our recent discussion of options for unmatched MD Seniors* We practice answering patient questions with a straight face by visiting Yahoo! Answers for what might be the last time! The Big News in medical education is that a valuable resource for practicing patient interactions and understanding their concerns is shutting down. That’s right, Yahoo! has decided to shut down it’s beloved, if deeply sad, site that allows people like Dave to post their urgent health-related questions. Will they flock to Quora? Who knows, but for now M4s Sophia Williams-Perez and Marisa Evers, M3 Annie Rempel, and M2 Eric Boeshart celebrate its impact on medical school podcasts with some new questions and revisit some old favs. Listener Victoria writes in wondering whether an MD/JD degree is right for a health-policy focused career. We can help, and we start by noting that no-one has signed up for this dual degree option at our school in several years. And listener Shea fact checks (with love!) our recent discussion of options for unmatched senior MDs. We Want to Hear From You How’d we do on this week’s show? Did we miss anything in our conversation? Did we anger you? Did we make you smile? Call us at 347-SHORTCT anytime or email [email protected]. It’s always a pleasure to hear from you! `
