Welcome to the Beyond the Scope Podcast presented by ND MD. 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 doesn't prepare you for. Things that are beyond the scope of our practice. Whether it's navigating starting a family as a medical student or physician, or learning how to invest as a student, the goal is to bring on incredible guests who can guide you through those puzzling questions. Today we have Wil Caruso, a member of the MCG Class of 2022 who is here to clear up how the residency application process works, or more commonly known as The Match. After applying to 3 different specialties and 153 residency programs, Wil details exactly how to be a strong residency applicant, things you can do right now to prepare you in medical school for residency, and how to pick a residency program that is right for you. Check out Wil on Instagram and YouTube as he progresses through his medical training!

Beyond the Scope

Hi everyone, my name is Andy (ND for short) and I am a photographer/videographer turned medical student at the Medical College of Georgia seeking to share stories, teach others, and maybe inspire someone along the way. Giving you the unfiltered view of what it's like to be a med student while trying to have a little fun in the process.

During this show, we will interview medical students, practitioners, and professionals about the things that make up their life that are "Beyond the Scope" of their typical responsibilities. We'll cover topics like marriage in medical school, managing extracurriculars, building your resume, and more!
