Educational Resources for Physician Life

(I.e. the things we wish we'd learned in medical school and residency)

While physicians go through more schooling and education than almost any other profession, several key components of education are left out of our formal training. Here at Physician Side Gigs, we want to give you all the tools med school was missing. Explore our main educational primers below for deep dives into different topics for doctors in every stage of their careers and lives.

Check back as we are continually adding new educational resources. If you have a question and can't find an answer on our website, ask the hive mind in our physician Facebook groups.
