Abstract

McGill Journal of Medicine (MJM) MedTalks is a Podcast series where members of the medical and health science communities from McGill and beyond are interviewed on topics related to career, research, advocacy and more. The aim of MedTalks is to open a space where experienced professionals and researchers can share information and advice for trainees in healthcare and medical sciences. In this episode, Susan Wang, MJM Podcast Team Co-Lead and first year Internal Medicine Resident at McGill University interviews guest-experts and endocrinologists Dr. Michael Tsoukas, Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at McGill University, and Dr. Vanessa Tardio, Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine and Program Director of the Endocrinology and Metabolism Residency Training Program at McGill University. This conversation covers GLP-1 agonists, what they are, their uses, the media hype, new and exciting research, and some advice for trainees. The show notes include a glossary of terms, links to publications referenced in the episode, and a full transcript of our conversation.
