The Oath
If you are premed, applying to medical school, or thinking about the residency match, the Oath is the podcast for you. Hosted by MedEdits' Jessica Freedman, M.D., we will discuss topics related to the medical education continuum and the practice of medicine.
Our goal is to offer timely, up-to-date, and informed guidance for everyone interested in premedical, med school admissions, and residency match topics.
We will discuss everything from what to do as a first year premed, how to think about the med school application timeline, how to approach your med school personal statement, what to do as a first year med student, and how to position yourself for the residency match.
Dr. Freedman's goal is offer transparency, decrease stress, and bring more calm to these inherently stressful processes.
