Victor Escobedo - Bilingual in Medicine and Insight into Post Bacs (#006‪)‬ How to Get Into Medical School: Pass the Mike

Hey there friends! Nick here. I want to thank you for tuning into another episode of Pass the Mike where I have the pleasure of sharing the narratives of imminent or current medical professionals. In short, my job is to build you a community of mentors from the folks that have come before you. I'm super excited to have one of greatest friends on the show today Victor Escobedo. V-I-C-T-O-R SPACE E-S-C-O-B-E-D-O. Victor graduate in 2019 from UCSD with a degree in Human Biology and has just finished a post baccalaureate at UCSD. Victor is a meme and food aficionado and even has a food Instagram called thiccomode eats where him and his girlfriend cook up and find SD's best food.

Victor is currently applying to medical school and when he's not working on drafting primary/secondaries he is teaching medical Spanish to UCSD med students and working at a free clinic.

Victor's initial path to medicine started interpreting and from there he took on larger roles like serving as Clinic Director for the Flying Samaritans UCSD chapter (Victor inspired me to join the Flying Samaritans chapter at UCLA) and also incredible research for Dr. Adler's cardiology lab where he is on the path to cure Danon Disease and has numerous presentations and recently presented at the International Society of Heart & Lung Transplantation Conference in Orlando, FL. On top of all that Victor was a part of 1st place dance teams and founded his own dance team at UCSD.

You can find Victor if you want to say hello, ask a question or challenge to him a cooking contest or dance-off at vsescobe@gmail.com

It's a pleasure to have you here Victor, welcome to the show.
