Hey folks, just a quick reminder that this podcast is not meant to be used for medical advice, just good old-fashioned education, and all-patient information has been modified to protect our identity.

Welcome back, clinical problem solvers.

It's Smitha, one of the SLS team members, and we are just absolutely thrilled to be bringing

you another installment of the spaced learning series, where we feature some high-yield

schemas applied to a clinical case in real time.

I'm even more excited to introduce our newly minted

poem critical care physician, Anna Fretz. Anna, congrats. Anna, congrats. How are you feeling about

having matched into fellowship? Thank you, Smitha. I apologize in advance for my voice.

I feel like with the recurrent respiratory illnesses, we're just all apologizing

for our voices, at least one of us per episode. I feel super, super excited, though. You probably

can't gauge from the tone of my voice, but I feel a big weight off my shoulders. I'm really excited

for next steps. I'm particularly excited to see how I can apply some of this clinical reasoning to the ICU

environment, see how I can bring, kind of merge those two fields together.

I also am super curious, Kirtan, you're now almost halfway through entry and year.

We are so, so proud and happy for you, but also recognize that this is a hard time of the year. How are you

doing? Sure. Thank you for checking on me, Anna. And firstly, I wanted to congratulate you.

This is a huge achievement, and I can't wait to see you save tons of life in the ICU and on the

general floors. And yes, it's an intern here is going going great and I can't believe that almost six months has passed.

And it seems like everything started yesterday.

And I'm learning a lot and, you know, residency is kind of a new perspective.

Now I'm no longer a medical student.

Now I'm a resident.
