Dr. Napier discusses many high-yield topics in this episode. She touches on being in a dual physician/mil-to-mil family, her affinity for OBGYN, and differences she has noted between civilian and military medicine. She also brings up the topic of med career pyramids and how it is important to have a vision of where you want your service in the military to go along your career path. She emphasizes the importance of having a mindset of being a lifelong learner. This episode is filled with things we should be thinking about as military medical students (which is a lot).
