Beyond the Scope – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to the Beyond the Scope Podcast presented by ND MD and Hippocratic Collective.

This podcast continues the mission of sharing the incredible stories and experiences of students, physicians, and healthcare professionals... but this time it's all about the things all those years of medical training don’t prepare you for. The things that are beyond the scope of our practice.

In this episode of Beyond the Scope, I sit down with Dr. Ricky (Dr. Richard J Brown), a double-boarded plastic surgeon who unexpectedly became a patient after a backyard grill explosion caused severe burns. He shares his perspective on transitioning from surgeon to patient, the challenges of navigating burn unit care, and the mental and physical resilience required for recovery. We also discuss how this experience deepened his empathy for patients and reinforced the importance of mindset in healing.

Check out Dr. Ricky at the links below, including his own podcast and channels where he shares honest, insightful, and often entertaining perspectives on medicine and life:

BONUS EPISODE WITH DR KAY

Today we put the spotlight on a topic near and dear to my heart, the imperfections of becoming a doctor. I always mention that medical training is difficult in my interviews and I always ask my guests if they would change anything that got them to where they are today...and almost unanimously the answer is no. Dr. Kay is a huge physician advocate and uses her platform to normalize some of the difficulties we all experience as we seek to pour into our patients..while struggling to sometimes pour into ourselves.

Today we put the spotlight on primary care with Dr. Cheung, a resident in the primary care track at UCLA medical center. An underrated and under appreciated field, this was an incredibly informative conversation about the intimate impact you can have in this set of specialties as well as how financial hardship and opportunities can impact how you shape your medical training path.

Today ventures somewhat away from the mission of talking about things not taught in medical school because med school DEFINITELY teaches you this stuff (or should). My personal mentor during my USMLE Step 1 and 2CK dedicated studying, Dr. Rahul Damania aka HyGuru joins me on this episode to break down some practice med school board exam questions for each other shelf topics. Listen and practice along to see if you can get them all right!

Today I get to welcome back to the channel an old friend of mine who supported this podcast from the very beginning. From struggling with imposter syndrome, motivation, and academic identity in high school, Will has become an excellent example of the mantra that "hard work is greater than talent." Many feel because they were not inherently placed in gifted or honors classes throughout their educational journey that they are not worthy of the title of physician, and Will's story is here to encourage those with that frame of mind that the grade school system, and grades in general, are not a definition of your ability to be a courageous and caring doctor.

Switching careers into medicine is becoming increasingly more common. If there is something i've learned from my own peers, it is that everyone's path to medical school is so unique in all the best ways. Today we have Nathan, a current medical student who transitioned from his training in pharmacy to medical school sharing his story of the similarities, differences, and decisions to make when switching from a field like pharmacy to clinical medicine.

Returning to the channel, we have one of my favorite friends YouTube has brought me, the newly crowned DR. Rachel Southard, DO! As she graduated medical school this past week, this podcast is all about reflecting on her journey through medical school, what she looks forward to as she begins life as an OB/GYN resident physician, and how YouTube has impacted her life.
