In this episode we dive deep discussing her path to medicine, discussing her life-threatening accident as a child, the feeling of being a patient, why every premed student should study abroad, what it is like to treat patients in India, why she took time off during college and medical school to do research, why she chose gastroenterology, how to stay motivated during residency, and the value of mentorship.

This week we launched our November website series featuring articles on the Residency Interview Process. We had three Articles published By Dr. Lapite, Dr. Katz, and Dr. Deptula. Dr. Lapite is a Pediatric Resident in Philadelphia, Dr. Katz is a Cardiology Fellow in NY, and Dr. Deptula is a Plastic Surgery resident in California. Links to their articles are available in our show notes. They each outline their tips and advice on how to maximize the residency interview process. If you have an article or topic you want to write about, send our managing editor an email at jeremy@survivingmedicine.org.
