Traits to Treat: Personality in Medicine

The Short Coat: An Inside Look at Getting Into and Getting Through Medical School - Un pódcast de Dave Etler and the Students of the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine - Jueves

Categorías:

Tailoring your medical career to fit your personality? Are you better off as a surgeon or in palliative care? MD/PhD student Jacqueline Nielsen, M2 Hend Al-Kaylani, and M1 Fallon Jung play with personality to see if their path toward choosing the right medical specialty should be dependent on their personality traits. From the introspective nature of psychiatry to the rapid decision-making required in emergency medicine, Dave and crew explore how tests like The Big 5 or Meyers Briggs might influence their specialty choices. Some question the scientific validity of most personality testing, but the Big Five has some evidence behind it, so Dave also created a custom GPT to analyze their test results and suggest best (and worst) specialties for all of them. This episode also touches upon the broader implications of these choices on personal satisfaction and professional success in medicine. Also, we ponder our consumption of news and its impact on mental health and the Kate Middleton mystery’s hold on the world. We Want to Hear From You: YOUR VOICE MATTERS!
