    Episode 7: To Be Pre-Med or Not To Be Pre-Med?

    Our three co-hosts unite once again and are joined with a highly impressive guest speaker: a senior in BME who is also in the Medical Scholars Program (MSP)! Starting as a med student in the Miller School of Medicine next fall, our guest speaker shares insights on the MSP application process. The conversation shifts as the guest speaker and one co-host provides perspective on why they stayed on the pre-med track, while our other two co-hosts elaborate on why they left. Both point of views are shown on initial motivations for pursuing medicine, differences in college experiences, and guidance for students considering to switch.
