Provider Pulse Episode 7: Dr. Edwin Wang
The next installment of the Provider Pulse interview series where we elevate diverse voices from across healthcare fields to learn the paths people took to their current roles in healthcare.
On this episode, we speak with Dr. Edwin Wang, an internal medicine resident at the University of Washington who is preparing to start his gastroenterology fellowship at Cook County Health in Chicago.
Dr. Wang reflects on his journey as an Asian American who spent formative years of his childhood in Singapore and completed his undergraduate studies in the United States. He offers candid insights into overcoming repeated rejections during the medical school application process, navigating the unique challenges of residency training, and how his international background has shaped his interest in cross-cultural medicine.
