S8E5: Navigating Medical School's Hidden Curriculum and Finding Your Path in Medicine

Dec 01, 2025

Walking into medical school without a roadmap hits differently when you are the first in your family to do it. No insider language, no built-in mentors, no one who can explain the difference between Step exams, clerkships, and the hidden curriculum everyone else seems to know. Kirsten Myers, PGY-3 in neurology, joins Lilly to talk about navigating medicine as a first-gen trainee—what it feels like, what it demands, and what it teaches you. They dig into the confusion, the pressure, and the unexpected strengths that come from forging your own path.
