Summary
What makes a good resident? And beyond that — what actually makes someone great ? In this episode of Cut & Tell , Dr. Liz Malphrus breaks down the unwritten skills of residency that no one formally teaches: anticipation, adaptability, reading the room, emotional resilience, communication, and learning how to survive medicine without becoming robotic in the process. From OR etiquette and closed-loop communication to social anxiety, burnout, and the strange art of staying positive during training, this is an honest conversation about the human side of becoming a doctor. Whether you’re a medical student, intern, resident, or just trying to survive a high-pressure environment, this episode is a candid look at the traits that actually matter — and why all of them can be learned. Cut & Tell is where medicine gets honest. https://sashachapin.substack.com/p/my-six-stages-of-learning-to-be-a
