We Need More Podcasts Like This One!

My name is Ryan Rivard, host of another pre-health podcast, and I am here showing my support for another podcast that is supporting the pre-health community. As a someone who is also incredibly passionate about providing the resources and information needed to make educated decisions and learn about all the medical careers available to you, I want to strongly recommend that you listen to this podcast if you are considering the field of medicine. These two women do an excellent job bringing up important discussions as well as connecting you with people directly in the medical field to aid you in your own journey. To make things better, they have wonderful experiences of their own that only aid the conversation. This podcast is worth your time and it bring me a lot of joy to see other pre-health content creators doing such great work to help out this amazing community!

Congratulations to you ladies! I attended one of your first NPHC conferences, 2020 I believe?
I also am a fellow Sun Devil, graduated with my B.A in Psychology from ASU in 2021 :) It is great to see how far you both have come and how successful you have been. Thank you for creating this podcast. I will be taking the PreMed courses that I need at my local Community College this Fall and look forward to an incredible journey alongside both of you!
