Med School in my 40’s (Part 2) - Dr. Carl Allamby

We’re back with part 2. Former car mechanic, Dr. Carl Allamby definitely didn’t let anything stop him from achieving the dream he had suppressed from childhood. On part 2, he lets us know that although he had major challenges being the oldest in his med school class, the ONLY black male, and one of few who had changed careers, he still found the positive in it all and used family as motivation for success.

From Mechanic to Medical Doctor at 47 - Dr. Carl Allamby

What a story! Dr. Carl Allamby had a successful career as a business owner and master mechanic but couldn’t shake his childhood dream of medicine. It took a spark to remind him of this childhood dream and that was all she wrote. We learn what it took for him to overcome a childhood of poverty and low expectations from peers. We’ll see why he did not let his age stop him from achieving this dream that once seemed so insurmountable. IMPORTANT LINKS!!!!!!

Dr. Aaron Palmer - They Took a Chance on Me (Part 2)

Growing up in poverty, not having the funds to pay for college, losing a father at an early age, and struggling to lift up a 1.8 GPA is a tall task for any premedical student. This is not the type of student typically accepted to medical school but all it took was 1 school to give Dr. Aaron Palmer a shot. His life experience understanding the struggle and overcoming these hardships led him to the top of his class and now into the prestigious field of Neurosurgery. IMPORTANT LINKS!!!!!!
