5. Master of Mentorship with Dr. Scott Friedman
The MuD/PhuD Mind Project
I’m so delighted that my PI from my grad school years, the great Dr. Scott Friedman, agreed to be a guest on my podcast. He exemplifies excellent mentorship and today, in fact, teaches others how it's done. For anyone looking to mentor others in the lab or otherwise, listen up and take notes! Also, please refer to his beautifully written Master’s Perspective written in Hepatology in 2015 (available on website: mudphudmindproject.com).

3. Fitting the “MD/PhD Mold” Just Right with Dr. Zahra Ghiassi-Nejad
The MuD/PhuD Mind Project
My very first podcast guest is a rockstar physician-scientist and also a dear friend, Dr. Zahra Ghiassi-Nejad. The title of this podcast was inspired by something she said “Wait a minute...no one needs to tell me what to do and I can do it however I want to...or however I want to decide to proceed - use both of the degrees or one of them” “I get to decide” - those are very powerful words and words matter! Sometimes these words are forgotten along the way of this long training journey. She came to the US from Iran on an F1 visa to attend NYU for undergrad. Despite what others...

2. My Big WHY
The MuD/PhuD Mind Project
The beautiful thing about the journey we will take into looking at our mind with curiosity is that it mirrors what we already do in research. We start with the scientific question. Why do we want to answer that question? Why is it important to us? It may help someone I’m curious (just because I want to) It sounds interesting or exciting to know the answer It sounds like fun I want you to ask yourself why you are doing the research you are doing. Then ask yourself why you keep doing it. Is your ‘big why’ compelling enough to get you through the obstacles that are in...

info_outlineMission:
- To serve as a platform for sharing stories and insight from other physician-scientists and pay it forward.
- This knowledge has been hard earned and I can’t think of a better way to give back than to share it with all the budding physicians scientists out in the world who are filled with big dreams and high hopes!
- This podcast is also for you seasoned physician-scientists especially if you have developed a hard edge over the years and perhaps some bitterness at the NIH pay line. Join us here to regain some inspiration and learn some tools to get you back to your inner pre-med dreams.
- Amplify the voices of those who are underrepresented in the physician-scientist space.
- Explore our thoughts about the MuD/PhuD path and pipeline.
- Investigate our mind with curiosity and compassion.
- Experiment with our mindset in order to get back balance, creativity and a passion to pursue our life’s purpose.
How we will do this:
- Every week a new podcast will be published.
- I will alternate between a guest physician-scientist and my own insights into cultivating a growth mindset.
- We will have fun doing this with creativity and inspiration from those around us.
If you want to take things deeper:
- My plan is to teach everything in this podcast.
- You will get the inspiration and the tools
- However, human brains do not learn by just listening!
- The information is fun and makes you feel good.
- BUT, ask yourself what changes you have actually made by just reading a book.
- In medical and graduate school, I needed to learn by doing.
- You can do all the things on your own, but if you want to accelerate your progress, reach out to me.
