This is the first episode of “Conversations in Med Ed”. Podcast host, Dr Danica (’Nici’) Sims, plays the role of the guest, as her colleague, Dr Liam Guilfoyle, asks her, “Why start a podcast?”
Danica shares her desire for creating a virtual community of practice that can connect and welcome in diverse stakeholders, to enable a sense of belonging. She briefly shares her unexpected journey into the field, triggered by her contextual challenges and care for people, and how she wants to hear stories from others in the field – about the people behind the research.
