Abstract

Welcome to the McGill Journal of Medicine (MJM) LMCC review. This podcast series was created to aid medical students studying for the Canadian Medical Council’s licensing exam. Each episode is created based on specific LMCC objectives and is divided into 2 parts. In part one we provide an overview of the topic with the help of experts in the field, followed by Part 2 where we review LMCC styled questions to help consolidate knowledge. 

In this episode of “Approach to Chest Pain” Dr Esther Kang, resident in Anesthesiology at McGill University and MJM Podcast Team co-lead had the opportunity to chat with our expert advisors, Dr. Jesse Li, a family and emergency physician practicing in Richmond Hill and Lakeridge Ontario, and Dr. Gordon Yao a family physician in Richmond Hill with extended practice in long term care, coroner duties and clinical tutorship at Queens University. 

Objective 14 : Chest Pain. This episode was written by Esther SH Kang, edited by Jesse Li, Gordon Yao, and the MJM Podcast Team
