We sit down with Ben Reinking, a board-certified pediatric cardiologist, medical educator, and certified physician development coach, to explore the challenges and rewards of medical training. We dive into themes of delayed gratification, maintaining work-life balance, and how medical students can navigate the tension between professional identity and personal fulfillment. Ben shares insights on balancing long-term goals with present joy, avoiding burnout, and fostering resilience throughout the journey to becoming a physician.

Ben Reinking is a board-certified pediatric cardiologist, medical educator, and certified physician development coach, as well as the owner of The Developing Doctor.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “The practice of delayed gratification in medical training: a double-edged sword.”
