This week Dr. Davis and stephanie catch up and discuss the story of a 70-year-old medical school graduate who is starting residency.

The third year of medical school is officially here, and everything feels different. In this episode of Generations MD, Stephanie talks about starting clinical rotations on the internal medicine wards. We talk about the transition from classroom learning to real patient care, what surprised Stephanie most about the hospital, and the reality of life as a new MS3.

With third year rotations starting, we talk about how to succeed in clinical medicine, what attendings actually notice, and why empathy and initiative matter more than perfection. Plus, one unforgettable, unhinged story about going above and beyond for a patient.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Shikhar Tomur, a young plastic surgeon in Dallas, to talk about his path into one of the most competitive specialties in medicine, including his experience in an accelerated 6-year medical program. We also get into what plastic surgery training is actually like, the realities of pursuing a surgical career, and how the path to becoming a physician may be evolving.

Studying for Step 1 is stressful—but it also opens your eyes to what comes next.

In this episode, we talk about what it’s actually like preparing for Step 1, and how that stress quickly turns into a bigger realization: the residency match process can feel just as intense… if not worse.

At times, medical training starts to feel less like a structured system—and more like reality TV.

Stephanie Davis and Dr. Sarah Davis tackle big questions about bias and ethics in medicine — with plenty of laughter along the way. They explore how generational perspective influences clinical decision-making, why objectivity is harder than we think, and how Step 1 and rare disorders manage to enter every conversation.

This week on Generations MD, Stephanie and her mom tackle two topics that don’t get enough honest conversation in medicine: finances and alcohol. From navigating student loans and financial “advice” in medical school to understanding changing alcohol trends and the rise in Gen Z sobriety, this episode breaks down what future doctors should actually be thinking about.
