"At the Bedside"
"At the Bedside" is a new humanities-focused segment of CORE IM, a podcast focused on bringing high-quality clinical discussions into the new realm of Free Open Access Medical Education (>20,000 downloads per episode, Top 5 podcast for healthcare professionals). Dr. Margot Hedlin, a third-year internal medicine resident at NYU Langone Health, is one of the hosts and discusses humanities topics that reach beyond traditional evidence-based medicine and delves into the ethics and emotions that come with practicing today. The first two episodes discussed difficult patients and AMA discharges, and the newest episode—on gallows humor—features interviews with bioethicist Katie Watson and author Samuel Shem, who reads an excerpt of his new book, Man's 4th Best Hospital.

New Annotation: Marilyn McEntyre on Love Thy Neighbor: A Muslim Doctor's Struggle for Home in Rural America by Ayaz Virji and Alan Eisenstock
"Responding to a shortage of doctors in rural areas in 2013, Dr. Virji, a Muslim, moved from the urban East coast to a small town in Minnesota. The story is nuanced and sometimes surprising in the way it shows how medicine offers an access route across tightly held political and religious boundaries."
