Each week, we will be bringing you incredible tips, strategies and interviews with phenomenal medical students and residents. You can listen online (below), download it to listen later, on your smartphone: all for free.
In this week’s episode, we present our amazing colleague Josh Yem. Josh’s episode was fascinating for many reasons. Many a time, we all have significant setbacks on our journey to medicine, and Josh was no stranger to this said fact. After his first unsuccessful application, he took the initiative, made various changes, and sought experiences that made him the ideal candidate when he reapplied, rather than fall down the cycle of despair. Josh shares with the listeners what he did in his gap year and how he conveyed his maturity in that period in his application. He spoke at length about crafting a personal statement, especially given that he was informed, when he went back for feedback, that it wasn’t well crafted when he first applied. This may have impacted his application negatively. Did I also say he was a music major in the classics??? For this and more, tune in and join this episode!
