The World Health Organization is planning to declare Aspartane, a common artificial sweetener or carcinogen.

Homegrown malaria cases surface in Texas and Florida.

The FDA approves a new Alzheimer's medication.

This is America Disactive. I'm your host, Dr. Abdul Alsehi.

Today, we're talking about physician organizing, because last week, on July 1st, thousands of new residents,

including my own little brother, began their residency training.

For folks less acquainted with the gauntlet of medical education, let me explain.

It's a three to seven year intensive training requirement based out of a hospital that doctors

are required to do to be board eligible in a particular specialty.

The shortest residency is last three years, for things like family medicine or pediatrics.

Neurosurgery is the longest, requiring a seven year residency.

When your job is to do any and everything required of you, from there, you graduate upwards,

leading teams of interns and junior residents.

Early long days, late nights, 24 to 36 hour call shifts.

Wellness isn’t just about mindfulness, exercise, or the right skin routine. Science, politics, media, culture, tech — everything around us — interact to shape our health. On America Dissected, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed cuts into what really makes us sick — be it racism, corporate greed, or snake oil influencers — and what it'll take to heal it.
