Sleeper Specialty: Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Ft. Dr. Brittany Bettendorf
The Short Coat: An Inside Look at Getting Into and Getting Through Medical School - A podcast by Dave Etler and the Students of the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine - Thursdays

In another in our series on "sleeper specialties," we visit with Internal Medicine-Pediatrics (Med-Peds) doc Brittany Bettendorf. M1 Alex Nigg and M2 Madeline Ungs learn about this lesser known specialty that combines the detective work of internal medicine with a focus on kids with childhood diseases, including managing their transition to adult care. There aren't many residencies for med-peds, which alone makes it a sleeper! And Dr. Bettendorf talks about her work in medical humanities at CCOM as a Medicine and Society course director, Humanities Distinction Track co-director, editor of our literary journal, and more.
