In honor of Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month, we sit down with PGY-2 psychiatry resident Dr. Anthony Cimmino to dive deep into the often unspoken challenges of medical school. Discover resources for mental health, learn how to navigate “red flags” found in your residency application, and gain valuable insights on how to support those in need. Join us for a candid conversation on prioritizing well-being in the demanding world of medicine.

From encephalitis survivor to accomplished physician, author, and administrator, Dr. Marla Golden joins the White Coat to share her incredible journey into medicine and reveals insights every medical student needs to know about third year clerkships and fourth year rotations.
