#37: Andy Nguyen (ND MD) - Navigating Anesthesiology Residency

In this episode, we’re joined by Andy Nguyen, MD, a PGY1 anesthesiology resident at Yale and YouTube creator (ND MD - Dr. Nguyen's YouTube channel)

Dr. Nguyen shares his journey from medical school to residency, offering insights into the structure of his intern year and the emotional and professional challenges that come with it. We also discuss how he uses photography, videography, and storytelling as a creative outlet and to share the stories of others. 

We reflect on medical specialty selection, the weight of responsibility in medicine, and the importance of long-term vision. Other topics discussed include, the role of social media in medicine, the delicate balance between professionalism and personal expression, the increased competitiveness of medical school and residency, and much more!

Whether you're a future physician or simply curious about the modern medical journey, this episode offers honest, thoughtful reflections on what it means to grow, as both a doctor and a person, in today’s digital age.
