The path to becoming a physician - and then working as one for the rest of your career - can feel like a highly regimented road, with little room for side journeys. A new book called Improvising Adulthood: What I Wish Someone Had Told Me makes a bold claim: that adult life is a lot like an improv show, where you make one choice, and then another, and then another, and you get to change direction at any time. The author of this book, Amanda Hirsch, wants us to feel empowered to shift ourselves out of auto-pilot and question the scripts we feel we must follow. Amanda is our guest for this special episode in which we explore how her book applies to medical students in particular. There are three copies of her book in our OSA, so please feel free to stop by and borrow a copy!
