Highlight & Takeaways

Session 27

What do you do when medical school makes you feel disconnected from your purpose? You lean into the “extra” opportunities that others overlook. Join host Deana Golini as she interviews Payal, an M4 at Kansas City University, who transformed her medical education by embracing an OMM Fellowship and a national leadership role with the AAFP. Payal shares the raw reality of her M1 “identity crisis,” how she navigated the transition from a Tufts Master’s program to the “10 fire hydrants” of medical school, and why she chose to spend an extra year deepening her osteopathic roots. From painting murals to alleviate burnout to serving as a student delegate in the Congress of Delegates, Payal’s journey is a roadmap for any student looking to bridge the gap between eastern and western medical philosophies. If Payal’s journey provides the clarity you need for your residency path, like this video, share your thoughts in the comments, and subscribe for more insider blueprints for med school success!
