Segment Three:?Nirmal Gosalia talks about DocThoughtsMed which?is a medical student created media platform that interviews thought leaders in medicine and produces 5-minute films. We?re creating a resource that hopes to engage students, physicians, and the general public in conversation with the leading voices in healthcare. Our films cover topics that are not usually touched upon in traditional schooling or training. For example, prior interview topics include the growing integration of smartphones in medicine, the keys to success as a physician entrepreneur, and even the ?art? of practicing medicine.

DocThoughts brings forward these critical perspectives and presents them to the community in an engaging format. All of our videos are completely free and accessible online. The development and dissemination of these physician voices genuinely motivates our team to continue building this resource. I encourage you to view our site at DocThoughtsMed.com. Watch for Dr. Cole’s interview coming in Mid-October.
