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 two of my closest and first friends I made in medical school, Abby and David! I have gotten the privilege to share in their joy as they got engaged (to each of their respective significant others, not each other lol) and now see them learn to navigate managing the process of getting engaged and planning a wedding while still a full time medical student. Just because you are a medical student does not mean you cannot take the next step in your romantic relationships, but there definitely are some considerations and advice to take if you are considering it.
