Welcome to this week’s episode featuring emergency physician Ryan Conklin, PGY1. Ryan originally applied EM, ended up scrambling into a preliminary surgical residency and is now back doing his original dream of residing in emergency medicine. He talks about this adventure and how it shaped his decisions of his future goals. One of Ryan’s goals is to bring back the physician house calls to patients, specifically pediatric  and geriatric people. We both believe that the quality of the patients’ lives would be drastically significant with this type of care. Lastly, we talk Artificial Intelligence and the growth of the medical world. AI is the future and will help change lives.
