Season 4: Episode Five

Being a Student in the OR

Introduce ourselves (Maria, Fabiola, and Yazmin) this will be a conversation type podcast between three scrub students and our experience as new students in the OR

·  Main topics:

               1. Yazmin will introduce our first topic: What we expected coming into the OR. (everyone walking around like crabs, more chaos, more blood, longer surgeries, every surgeon being mean, etc.)

     2. Fabiola will be introducing our next topic: The reality of how the OR actually is (setting up early, sterility, not as sterile as it should be, calling instruments by different names, never before seen instruments, reality of our anatomy and actual size, how rough the surgeons are during surgery.

     3. Maria will be introducing our last topic: Important skills you need to make it in the OR (Anticipation, having good hearing, multi-tasking being able to count and hear at the same time, staying organized, knowing your surgeons preference

·  Summary: Thank our audience for listening in on our podcast, encourage them to listen to our classmates episodes and say our goodbyes.

·  We all came up with multiple podcast ideas and decided together which topic we would choose for our podcast. We ended up combining a couple of our ideas and including them as main topics.
