Sharp Scratch: a podcast for med students and new docs

Every fortnight, we get together medical students, junior doctors and expert guests to discuss all the things you need to know to be a good doctor, but that medical school doesn’t teach you.

We delve into the ‘culture’ of being a medical student, and the anecdotal stuff you might pick up from corridor conversations with your coursemates; which is perhaps even more important this year with reduced face-to-face contact.

You can listen to all of our episodes for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google podcasts, Podbean, or wherever you get your podcasts:
