Medical school is intense — long hours, endless exams, and constant pressure. But it doesn’t have to mean sacrificing joy, hobbies, or social life. In this episode, we unpack how to keep having fun and build a fulfilling life while training to become a doctor. From practical time management strategies and creative outlets to social connection and mental health insights, we’ll explore real stories from students who’ve figured out how to work hard and live well. Whether you’re a first-year buried in anatomy or a fourth-year on the interview trail, this episode is your reminder: fun isn’t optional — it’s part of success. Featuring M4 Gerald Chang
