This episode marks a major milestone for PDs @ SEA. We celebrate our tenth episode and welcome our new co-host, Dr. Marianne Chen, Residency Program Director at Stanford. Marianne joins host Dr. Bryan Mahoney to talk about leadership transitions, the realities of running a residency, and how signaling and recent ERAS changes are reshaping recruitment across anesthesiology.
Together, they compare early data, share how signaling is affecting the depth and fairness of application review, and reflect on the role of team-based recruitment. They also discuss the value and limits of the new applicant essay prompts and how programs interpret gold and silver tier signals differently.
This conversation offers practical insight for program directors, faculty, clerkship directors, and educators navigating this year’s recruitment season. It also highlights the shared commitment across programs to support trainees and build strong, inclusive learning environments.
This episode was recorded, produced, edited and published by Larry Chu, MD and the Stanford AIM lab.
