MSHQ is Premed Medicine for the Soul -- 5 stars (★★★★★)

by David Enyart from United States on Aug 6, 2014
Via the Medical School HQ podcast, doctors Ryan and Allison Gray present the most accurate, unbiased and fear-eliminating content there is. Each podcast fills me personally with the knowledge, vision, hope and focus I need to continue on my path toward becoming a physician with each passing week. There aren't many resources I would promote with the same degree of passion or excitement as I do this podcast. If you have yet to subscribe and/or leave a 5 star review, what are you waiting for?Thank you Ryan and Allison for, not only your faithful delivery of the greatest content on the web, but for personally sticking by me as a friend/big brother and sister in medicine via your answering of my emails and phone calls without hesitation or delay. If you have yet to develop a personal statement for the MSHQ podcast, here's a suggestion: "We Exist to Help Ordinary People with Extraordinary Passion for Medicine to become the Doctor they Were Meant to Be." Thank you for all you do, and don't stop. David
