Vitally Stable: A Pre-Health Podcast

• (Episode 30) BONUS - Ryan's Rotational Experience (Part 2)

  Have you ever wondered what rotations are actually like? Well, if you have, then you are not alone. As a mentor to many pre-health students, Ryan has always tried to offer the best advice he could, but he never felt like he had the perfect answer to this question. After a lot of research and searching of other pre-health content platforms with little result, Ryan realized that there was huge gap in resources discussing the day-to-day life of a rotational student. He believed the only way to actually know what rotations are like was to hear it from students actively going through it. This gave Ryan an incredibly ambitious idea: What if he recorded his own rotation experience? What if he sat down before and after nearly every shift of every day of his rotation and recorded himself discussing his mindset from the very start of PA school rotations to the very last day? After 1 year of hard work and dedication, this series on the Vitally Stable podcast is the culmination of that vision.  In Part 2 of this series, you will be hearing the recordings from Ryan’s 4th, 5th, and 6th rotations which were Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and OB/GYN. This series isn’t just a podcast series. It’s a recorded documentation of one of the most challenging, but rewarding, years of Ryan’s life. This series is special for us and we hope it can be special for you too!  If you found this episode helpful, please give us a rating/comment or reach out to us directly. We would like to pursue more long-form projects like this in the future if that is what the pre-health population needs right now. Everything we do is completely free and driven by a passion to help those in need so feedback is so incredibly appreciated. Let’s support as many pre-health students as we can so we can all have a less stressful journey!Timestamps:02:28 - Psychiatry Rotation56:52 - Pediatrics Rotation02:10:38 - OB/GYN Rotation
