In this episode, Dr. Moss shares a deeply personal story of almost being dismissed from medical school multiple times for USMLE STEP failure, Leave of Absence, and "Professionalism" before finally graduating with her medical doctorate. Dr. Moss, now a psychiatry resident and co-chief resident for medical student education, recalls the academic and emotional challenges faced, including failing USMLE & Medschool exams, and dealing with the hidden curriculum of medical education. The video emphasizes the weaponization of 'professionalism' and the need to redefine it to promote growth and empathy among future doctors. This candid narrative aims to support others facing similar struggles and advocate for a more understanding medical education system.
