Creating a Medical Career From Your Passions - Dr. Josh Bliss, Internal Medicine Resident at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center

Today we continue our series Next-Gen Journeys, featuring conversations with students, residents, and early career medical professionals around the globe to get their fresh perspectives on education, medicine, and the future of healthcare. We’re delighted to do that today with Dr. Josh Bliss, a third-year internal medicine resident at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine, who will continue his training there next year as a hematology-oncology fellow.  Josh was actually one of the first Osmosis Medical Education Fellows, later transitioning to a role creating and editing pharmacology content with our education team. In this heartfelt conversation with host Hillary Acer, Josh shares how his mother’s death from cancer when he was young spurred his interest in medicine and how his passion for the field has expanded over time to include the relatively new science of exercise oncology. “We are starting to look at exercise both in the lab and in clinical trials with patients where you could potentially dose exercise like you would a drug. You can measure it and standardize it and look at clinical effects.” For those hoping to build a multi-dimensional career in medicine, there is plenty of inspiration to draw from in this episode.
