Welcome to the sneak preview of Before The White Coat, a new podcast from the Society of Hospital Medicine!

On Before The White Coat, SHM CEO and host Larry Wellikson explores the early influences and personal inspirations of some of the most influential individuals in healthcare and modern medicine.

In this three-minute preview, Dr. Wellikson talks with Robert Wachter, who coined the term "hospitalist" in a 1996 New England Journal of Medicine article. Dr. Wachter talks about his stint as the mascot for the University of Pennsylvania Quakers and his experiences as an internal medicine resident at the University of California San Francisco at a time when hospitals were grappling with the emergence of AIDS.

The full interview with Dr. Wachter will be published on Tuesday, June 16.
