Hi, I'm Hafsa Slaiman, intern, wanderluster and extrovert. The problem though is that I hit more speed bumps than a formula one racer.

This podcast reveals it all: my breakdowns, my fails, my first times, my solutions and fun medical stuff, so whether you’re a med student, premed, doc or even someone who just wants to get inspired come along and join me on my journey.
