86 - Failing COMLEX Level 1, and still matching into top ranked Psychiatry Program Talk Mental Health With Dr. Logan Noone, DO

    • Mental Health

My great friend and psychiatry resident, Richard Arroyo, discusses his experience failing COMLEX Level 1 after his 2nd year of medical school. This exam is thought to be "the most important test you take in medical school." Richard shares his self-doubts, shame and depression he felt going through this experience. He talks about how his medical school intended to help him, but ended up acting more like a barrier at times. Richard found a way to pass COMLEX Level 1 on his second try. Next, he was able to successfully match to his top ranked psychiatry residency program.
