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.
