    From Pre-Clinical to Clinical: The Jump No One Warns You About

    The move from pre-clinical to clinical years can be one of the biggest - and most underestimated - jump in med school. In this episode, Sumaya (COO) and Mahima (Entry to Med team member + uni rep) talk through what that jump felt like for them: the study habits that fell apart, the shock of stepping onto wards, and the mindset shifts that helped along the way. We don’t have all the answers - but through our own experiences, we share the lessons we wish we’d known earlier and a few tips that made the journey a little easier. If you’re navigating the same transition, or about to face it, this convo will feel like you’re not going through it alone. 🤝 Check out everything else we’ve got coming up here: https://beacons.ai/firstgendoctors
