Junior Doctor's Corner

Dana created Junior Doctor's Corner as a resident medical officer with one clear mission: help junior doctors not just survive their early years, but actually enjoy them. Over 70 episodes released between 2018 and 2023, the show built a loyal following by tackling the subjects most doctors think about but rarely discuss out loud. Burnout, perfectionism, family planning during training, imposter syndrome — it's all here, handled with genuine care rather than clinical detachment. The format mixes solo episodes where Dana shares personal reflections with guest conversations and a listener-driven segment called ISBAR, where audience members contribute their own experiences. Episodes on clinical exam preparation sit alongside discussions about healthy eating habits when you're working 12-hour shifts, and a thoughtful introduction to psychotherapy aimed at doctors who might benefit from it. The show's strength is its intimacy. Dana speaks like someone who's been through it and wants to make the path easier for whoever comes next. At 5.0 stars on Apple Podcasts, listeners clearly appreciate the approach. While the show wrapped its run in mid-2023, the back catalog remains deeply relevant. The advice on advocacy in medicine, managing insulin resistance during stressful training periods, and navigating work-life balance hasn't aged. If you're a medical student or foundation year doctor looking for a podcast that treats you as a whole person, not just a clinician in training, this archive is worth working through.
