Hello, students. My name is Mike Estefan, and I thank you for downloading this month's

mid-month episode on the EM Clerkship podcast. As we did not have a true case this month,

this episode will not be a deep dive, but instead, I wanted to give you guys an update regarding our search for the next victim,

as well as discuss some important topics within the world of emergency medicine.

However, before we begin, just a quick word from our sponsors over at Pearson Rabbit's Insurance.

Pearson Rabbit is my own personal disability insurance broker. They specialize in

own occupation disability insurance for physicians and helped me lock in a low annual rate

for my own occupation disability insurance policy back when I was a resident. Obtaining

own occupation disability insurance as a resident is really

important. You will never be younger than you are right now, and the presence of any pre-existing

conditions can affect your coverage. It is best to obtain coverage before you develop any medical

problems that could exclude you from covering certain disabilities or could

raise your rate. Don't wait until it's too late. Check out Pearson Rabbits at www.personravits.com

and schedule a consultation appointment today. Don't forget to mention EM Clerkship if you do.

And now, back to the episode.

moments of my life. And I hope it provides the same relief for all of you. As match is coming up,

that means we are due to select the next victim of the game. In the next week or two,

Zach Maddie and I are going to review all the applications we received
