Season 4 to premiere on August 8

We’re back! Step 1 of the USMLE board exam is in the rear view mirror for the majority of the ‘Rounds’ crew, and we’re excited to begin Season 4 on Sunday, August 8, 2010.

Remember, you can LISTEN ANYTIME — either live on Sundays at 12 p.m. ET, right here on our site, or via our free iTunes podcasts, available within days of the broadcast.

Our special guest to kick off Season 4 is NASA astronaut and physician Dr. Michael Barratt, who has spent a considerable amount of time working in the International Space Station. This winter, Dr. Barratt will be on board the Endeavor space craft, scheduled as the final mission of the Space Shuttle program. Tune in on August 8 to hear about his experiences in space and the medical emergencies that arise!

EPISODE 313: No Letter, Now What?

We have produced a special episode on medical school admissions for our pre-med listeners! If you might not know where (or if) you will be going to medical school this fall, you can hear several admissions directors and students share their advice on what your next steps should include. That episode is available as a free download on our iTunes page!
