The Hidden Doctor Hierarchy

The rigorous journey through medical school prevents many potential doctors from making it to the top, but students with lower socioeconomic status are disproportionately left behind. This episode explores how high-status students have an advantage, what happens to students who don't make the cut, and why all of this matters for both doctors and patients. We hear from Dr. Tania Jenkins, UNC Chapel Hill professor and the author of Doctors' Orders, a fascinating new book that exposes the underpinnings of this hidden doctor hierarchy.
