Learners on Location: Bryan Redmond and David Paul

Описание: In this episode of Learners on Location, we sit down with David Paul, MD, neurosurgeon at the University of Rochester Medical Center and founder of Bold and Gritty Coffee, alongside Bryan Redmond, PhD, a third-year medical student at the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry. Their conversation explores how mentorship often grows organically, shaped by shared curiosity, honest conversations, and a commitment to becoming both skilled clinicians and thoughtful leaders.

They reflect on what makes Rochester a unique place to train and grow, from its collaborative medical community to the vibrant arts and music scene that helps them recharge outside the hospital. Together, they talk about navigating medical school, discovering a path toward neurosurgery, and how learning extends far beyond the operating room.

They also discuss the culture of approachability and collaboration at Rochester—where students, residents, and faculty learn from one another, and where mentorship is less about formal titles and more about showing up, asking questions, and building meaningful relationships over time.
