It’s Mary Michael and Radhika Sharma here and we welcome you to our podcast, Scrub In. We hope to go beyond the classroom and hospital setting and divulge into the social aspects of healthcare: lifestyle, stigmas, and stereotypes, you name it. Throughout the episodes we aim to encourage open discussion by bringing awareness to public health issues and the healthcare system. We hope to break down the tough exterior that we as medical professionals put on and we invite you to join us in our O.R. as we chat with peers, physicians, and friends. Although the topics and experiences we share with you might be highly relatable, our opinions are ours and ours only and in no way reflective of those of the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. We look forward to hearing your questions, comments, and concerns, so shoot us an e-mail @scrubinpodcast@gmail.com OR slide into our DMs @scrub_in_
