Medical Students
The student begins with the patient, continues with the patient, and ends his studies with the patient, using books and lectures as tools, as means to an end - Sir William Osler, Aequanimitas, 1905

Old Works of Art Are Helping Med Students Learn How to Diagnose
Artists have long been fascinated by illness, rendering everything from syphilis to arthritis to tuberculosis in careful brush strokes. The diseases depicted, frozen on the canvas, have in turn created a type of diagnostic mystery for modern day physicians. As an intellectual exercise that doesn't require medical malpractice insurance, for years doctors have been publishing their theories and arguing with each other over the diagnoses of people long dead.
The discoloration and breast malformation depicted in Rembrandt's "Bathsheba at Her Bath," for instance, has been explained away with a variety of possible causes. Papers have argued that everything from breast cancer to tuberculous…

Medical Residents Learn To Treat The Growing Health Hazards Of Climate Change
"We want to impart this information to our residents as fast as we can because it's so important that they gain this information sooner rather than later," says Dr. Paul Dellaripa, one of the authors of a new climate change course for about 50 internal medicine residents at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
The Next Generation of Doctors Is Pushing for Universal Healthcare

A Medical Class ‘Minted by the Pandemic’
Across the nation, medical students are graduating directly into the path of an epic health crisis.
Medical Students in Europe and U.S. Graduate Early to Join Coronavirus Front-Lines
Young students just finishing medical schools across the U.S. and Europe are being rushed into hospitals overwhelmed by the new coronavirus to combat a global health catastrophe. Many are forgoing final elective classes, logging onto Zoom or Webex to recite the Hippocratic oath and donning protective gear to begin their careers, often in areas far from the specialties they plan to pursue.
This Med Student Has A Two-For-One Deal To Support Healthcare Workers And Local Restaurants At The Same Time
When coronavirus cases began pouring into emergency rooms nationwide, restaurants like the fast-casual franchise Melt Shop, didn’t hesitate to lend a hand by providing free meals to around-the-clock hospital workers on the front lines of the pandemic. “So many restaurants were closing and we were hearing of some hospitals that actually couldn't get access to any delivery,” says Melt Shop founder and CEO Spencer Rubin. “So we were donating meals out of our own pocket.”
Training the Next Generation of Doctors and Nurses
In what looks like an urgent game of catch-up, medical and nursing schools across the country are retooling how and what they teach. This is also getting a boost from concern about the looming shortage of primary caregivers.
Where Are the Medical Students?
Some medical schools are altering requirements for graduation and allowing fourth year students to enter the field to provide much-needed help. While this is a step in the right direction, I believe more should be done to involve medical students earlier in their training.
Cancer Diagnosis Galvanizes a Medical Student
How a support network—and a special bond with his doctor—helped a 22-year-old med student fight lymphoma.
DACA Med Students Face Uncertain Futures
Without DACA, there is no clear path for these students to complete their training, repay their loans, or practice medicine. For medical students committed to a decades-long career path with mortgage-sized student loans, the uncertainty makes it almost impossible for even type-A overachievers to plan for the future. “I don't think I’ve thought about what I would do instead,” said Latthivongskorn.
Doing Harm
More and more I’m learning that “do no harm” is simplistic. Pain and trauma are ever-present on the wards. It’s my job to learn to minimize it, but sometimes I have to hurt my patients to help them. Some of them will never forget the pain they suffered at the hands of the medical student I am now, or the doctor I will become. I know I won’t.
Match Day is coming up. Here’s how medical students game the residency system
There’s too much at stake: eight years of college and medical school, hundreds of thousands of dollars in education costs, and significant debt. We want to go where we feel our careers will take off...So medical students and residency programs game the system. Here’s how.
Meet the medical student who wants to bring down Dr. Oz

Meet the Medical Students Becoming Doctors in the Middle of a Pandemic
“I think medical school does a good job of putting you in situations where you feel a little uncomfortable and a little unsure. And you just have to be confident and act and know that you’ve worked hard and you have people looking out for you,” Casals says. “Your overall guiding principle just has to be: do the right thing for the people in your care.”

NYU Is Making Its Medical School Free. What a Waste
Let’s hope Harvard and Johns Hopkins can resist chasing NYU’s lead. While it’s hard to fault a school for offering its students a free education, this dramatic gesture is, at best, a well-intentioned waste—an expensive, unnecessary subsidy for elite medical grads who already stand to make a killing one day as anesthesiologists and orthopedic surgeons. It would be a pity if other top medical schools decided to imitate it, rather than use their resources in other, more helpful ways that might solve more of the problems NYU claims to be worried about.
Reflections of a Fourth Year Medical Student
It’s almost astounding how many transitions there are in medicine. How many firsts. How many have occurred, and how many still remain. There are moments you will never forget, that make their way into your emotional psyche and set up permanent shop.

When Medical School Students Become Obsessive Hypochondriacs
When you're around sick people all day, you start thinking you're sick yourself.
Women are now a majority of entering medical students nationwide
Historically, medicine has attracted fewer women than men because of long working hours associated with the profession and the rigorous academic background required in advanced science and math — subjects that women have been less likely to pursue. Three decades ago, just over a third of medical students were women.
