Episode 132 – Garrett, first year medical student at University of Utah School of Medicine Talking U and Med Student Life

"I served an LDS mission in Africa and I kind of saw more of a lack of healthcare than I've seen in the U.S. and that sort of solidified the idea that I wanted to go into medicine and help people." Growing up on a small farm in Duchesne, Garrett knew he had a love for science. It was until he served an LDS mission in Africa and witnessed a real lack in healthcare that he thought of becoming a doctor. Today we discuss Garrett's experiences overseas, growing up in a small community, the benefits of building relationships with your premedical advisor and other premedical students, studying for the MCAT with a busy schedule, and finally, choosing an MD program from multiple acceptance offers.
