First, we have rebuilding the research pipeline, why medical students struggle in orthopedic scholarship and how the system can improve by Wu.
Okay, so this is a viewpoint article on something that I am intimately involved in and very passionate about.
I don't want to be called out for picking on anyone because I realized subsequently, not until I kind of got into things, that we, a few months ago in the March episode, covered a viewpoint from Dr. Wu and another colleague about the residency selection process.
So, you know, I'm getting a little bit concerned that Dr. Wu and I can't be friends.
But I will pull out my best Doc Holliday from the movie Tombstone and say, I'll be your Huckleberry.
And obviously, Dr. Wu is very interested in making sure that medical students have a quality research experience as part of their portfolio.
But I also was a little bit concerned, similar to how I was in March and why I selected that, that some of the information that's imparted here can be both misleading and in certain contexts, probably not helpful to the end user, particularly if they are a medical student.
And so I wanted to... use this time for those and i know a lot of people who listen are are younger some medical students some in residency some in early career that our our audience tends to be on the younger side and intentionally so so there's there's a lot of information here about residents and and about medical students, and about how research should be constructed.
And if I'm only providing a counterfactual, I wouldn't even say, you know, going back to the Tom Cruise movie, a minority report, because I actually think that Dr. Wu's I think I would characterize as more not necessarily aligned with the mainstream, certainly in terms of how research is done.
I will say, because of my interest and my passion for this, I'm afraid that I'm going to go long.
I want you to exercise the host's prerogative here and cut me off when maybe I've gone too far.
But there are so many points here that I think are very important to call out and bring out.
This is misinformation and bad information that I think permeates our environment and our ecosystem.
So I want to start with the basic premise here that he starts off with in his first couple of paragraphs, which is that doing research is high stakes for medical students and that there's just a market inflation in terms of research expectations.
