About the Show
White Coat, Black Art is an original and provocative show demystifying the world of medicine. Host Dr. Brian Goldman reveals the culture of medicine and the health care system from the point of view of those who work on the other side of the gurney. Doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers explain how things really work and why, with a refreshing and unprecedented level of honesty.

Senior Producer Jean Kim made her way to CBC after realizing the best part of the day was listening to the radio on the way to work. She started as an intern with the personal documentary show Outfront, researched for The Sunday Edition, and most recently was a producer with the best show to wake up to in Toronto: Metro Morning. Favourite past projects include live broadcasts from Toronto's Regent Park and Lawrence Heights neighbourhoods; 'Taking a Bullet', a documentary series featuring victims of gun violence; and a World Cup contest inviting listeners to share their best soccer cheers. The work philosophy she lives by: work hard, but laugh a lot too.
Producer Kent Hoffman joins White Coat after wearing many different hats at CBC Radio. He's worked on the CBC Radio programs As It Happens, The World This Weekend, Sounds Like Canada, and Cross Country Checkup. He spent some time on the program Outfront helping people outside the CBC produce their own radio documentaries. And he did a bit of his own personal storytelling on a couple of programs he produced based on his Dad's record collection. His radio philosophy: If it sounds good -- it is good.
