The Melanin Initiative's Podcast
Becoming a Medical Student | Health Education
Welcome everyone to the Melanin Initiative!
“In healthcare, there is often too much information and not enough time. Here at The Melanin Initiative, we avoid TMI by breaking things down into language you can understand, we create a safe space to ask your questions, and share our nursing perspective without taking too much of your time."
Today we're talking to special guest, Clarence Sams, as we begin a new series called: Becoming a Physician. We're going to follow his journey to becoming a physician. Each semester he will return to share his experience as we watch his career, vision, and practice evolve.
In episode 1, we discuss:
- His journey to becoming a medical student
- Mentors and peers who helped him along the way
- How he selected his medical school
- His vision for the future
- His perspective of the current state of healthcare and where he sees it going in the next ten years
- What he learned that he didn't know prior to medical school
- What he wished he would have known prior to starting medical school
