I’m building a learning community that focuses on clarity, clinical reasoning, and mastering medicine through strong foundations. In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Nancy Selfridge for a wide-ranging conversation about teaching, medical education, resilience, what students struggle with the most, and how we can better prepare future physicians for real-world patient care. We talk openly about standards, assessment, the gap between what faculty expect and what students experience, and the deeper mindset shifts required to succeed. This conversation explores everything from clinical judgment to teamwork, motivation, communication, and lifelong learning.

If you want a deeper look into how physicians learn and why some learners thrive while others get stuck, this discussion will give you a framework for thinking more clearly about your own path forward.
