TESTIMONIALS

What People Are Saying

"I’m a non-trad admitted DO from NJ. I start med school in my home state in a couple of months. Listening to these podcasts has been informative and helpful in allowing me to see the different fields that medicine has to offer. I have enjoyed listening to different stories of the day to day life of physicians and it has made me to reflect deeper on what kind of physician I might want to be."

"This podcast has influenced beyond simple understanding. Every morning at my Junior college I would go to study and on the way I would listen to Specialty Stories and the Premed Years. Nonetheless this has influenced me to apply to Harvard as a transfer and I got it!!! I will be attending and the class of 2020. Dr. Ryan Gray also influenced me to attend the the UCD health conference and it was amazing. Thank you for everything!!!"

"As a non-trad trying to make decisions that will not only affect my life but the lives of my husband and children forever, this podcast has been so valuable as I weigh the pros and cons of each specialty! I love getting the insight and perspective into different specialties from physicians who are actually living and working in that lifestyle. Thank you for hosting!!"
