Dr. Rachel Southard, DO
My name is Rachel Southard. I am currently a resident doctor in ob/gyn (PGY-2). My goal with this channel is to maintain transparency about the highs and lows medical training. I encourage you to digest my content with the following question in mind: how can we improve medical training that protects the wellbeing of our future physicians/physicians while maximizing/expanding their education/skill.
