NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE MEANINGFUL, Y’ALL.

The Meaning of Purposelessness On This Episode: Join this week’s co-hosts M4 Madeline Cusimano, M3 Nathen Spitz, M3 Mason LaMarche, and M4 Ananya Munjal for the show! * Facing a content-free episode, we discuss what medical students do when they’re avoiding purpose and meaning (ie., they want to just have fun). * We discuss a more nuanced view of work-life balance in medicine than is usually discussed (referenced: this Medscape article).* Madeline challenges the gang to play 5-second rule, Medicine Edition.* Bonus: As many tangents and asides as we can fit into an hour.

Featuring a variety cast of medical students from the University of Iowa, The Short Coat is a brutally honest look at medicine, med school, and what life is like here at the margins of medicine. Skip this show if you'd prefer not to know and hate laughter. The opinions we share with you are formed by the sleep deprived, and are thus likely ill-considered and noticeably spur-of-the-moment. And definitely not those of the University of Iowa.
