Welcome to The Long Call! We are Mary and Khaila — an OB-GYN program director and a current resident — and we're excited to kick off The Long Call, a podcast about thriving in residency and beyond. In this first episode, we share our stories, what inspired the show, and why the “in-between” years of medical training matter just as much as the milestones. It’s a real, honest conversation about finding meaning, purpose, and a little bit of joy in the chaos of residency.
