What happens when your dream of becoming a doctor is interrupted by a life- threatening diagnosis?
Join host Deana Golini as she interviews Ananya Bashyam, an M2 at Loyola Stritch School of Medicine, who survived three relapses of leukemia while completing her medical school applications and her first year of training. Ananya pulls back the curtain on the “dark side” of medicine, sharing the vulnerability of losing her identity as a healthy person and finding it again as a patient-advocate.
From navigating stem cell transplants and fertility preservation to carrying an immunotherapy pump in her white coat, Ananya’s story is a masterclass in grit. She discusses the systemic issues in the bone marrow registry for people of color and why “scraped by” was a victory worth celebrating during the hardest year of her life.
If Ananya’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!
