Show Notes

Today's episode is a "Crossover Episode."   The Short Coat Podcast is produced by students at the University of Iowa Carver School of Medicine.    The podcast features a group of medical students who discuss different medical topics.  Three years ago, Dr. Storch listened to an episode where Osteopathic Medicine was discussed and felt that there were some inconsistencies.   He reached out to the group and they were happy to host him with a few of his "student friends" to "set the record straight!"  The episode is amazing and really speaks to what MD students know and don't know about the DO degree.  The episode features Dr. Amir Khiabani, from the Alabama College of Ostepathic Medicine who is now an ER resident in Tampa as well as Dr. Courtney Merlot, from the Michigan College of Osteopathic Medicine who is currently an ER resident in Michigan.
