Video Transcript: So, I was pretty undecided coming into the fourth year of medical school about what field I wanted to go into. The third year was really just me testing out everything. Um, I ended up really loving OB-GYN, and that's the field that I'll be pursuing. And, you know, knowing just what I know now about going into the field—obviously, there's, you know, good or bad—there's a lot of life and death. There are conversations about fetal and maternal mortality, which I feel really trained and ready to have.Read the full transcript.
Um, there are intimate conversations with patients about decision-making and reproductive justice that I feel like I'm also really well trained to address. Further than that, um, you know, just your everyday conversations with patients. I ask medical students if they've encountered an ethical dilemma in their medical training, and it's kind of interesting—the degree of people that will say yes versus no. And I think, for me, I really just recognize that any conversation with a patient is an ethical interaction. Whether that's if they can access their medications or, you know, the time that they took off of work to come in to see you.
So I think, for me, it's just kind of seeing the ethics in everyday stuff in medicine. Um, but more so, just kind of the things that I'll be able to take care of specifically in OB-GYN.
