In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome our very first guest, Dr. Abike James, for a powerful conversation about training in uncertain times. Together, we dive into how today’s tumultuous climate is shaping residency, where learners are feeling the greatest pressures, and how programs can stay grounded in their mission and values. We explore what it means to anchor in purpose, engage with our communities, and create supportive learning environments — even when the landscape feels chaotic. Dr. James also shares moments of hope, leadership, and the values that have carried her through her career, reminding us all of the meaning in our work.
