7. How We Chose Our Medical Specialty [Match Day 2025]

It's Match Day! We could not be prouder of our team. Dan, Diann, and Rowanne have been working with our students since before the pandemic. They helped us pivot within the pandemic. They helped administer vaccines to the UIC community. So to see them fulfill their dreams of becoming a physician means the world. They're hosted by a former instructor and first year IM resident, Omar. Omar came back to teach with us in his M3/M4 phase and was enamored with learning/teaching methods. We love that he wanted to share that with our class. The episode shares reflections from medical school, establishing your purpose, and how they chose which specialty was right for them. Please enjoy Episode 7.
