Nick Pimlott and Sarah Fraser interview Allan Peterkin, Academic Program Director of the NBM Lab, about the 25th anniversary Staying Human During Residency Training: How to Survive and Thrive after Medical School (University of Toronto Press, 2024), which Allan co-authored with Derek Puddester.
They discuss topics ranging from the pervasiveness of burnout in medicine, the value of the medical humanities and narrative-based medicine, continuing to find meaning in medicine, and why the book, now in its 7th edition, remains a valuable resource on being and staying well, not just for residents, but for all physicians.
The interview was recorded for an episode of the Canadian Family Physician Podcast.
