Getting Into Medical School??? Breaking It All Down (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on 6 to 8 Weeks, we're stepping away from injuries to answer the #1 question in our DMs: what does it really take to get into medical school? We break down: ✅ Why GPA + MCAT still matter more than anything else ✅ Does your major (or your college's name) actually matter? ✅ MCAT prep courses vs. self-study — and when to take the test ✅ The truth about shadowing (and how to actually land a spot) ✅ Are gap years a good idea? ✅ What admissions committees really want to see in your research
The Achilles Paper Goes Viral...and the NBA Responds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr. Brian Feeley interviews Dr. Nirav Pandya about the recently published study he co-authored on short-term workload patterns preceding Achilles tendon ruptures in NBA players — how the paper came together, what it did (and didn't) find, and why it caught national media attention. The discussion also digs into the difference between correlation and causation, the study's limitations, and what the finding might mean for how teams monitor player workload going forward.
