I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my newsletter! My goal is to share inspiring stories and offer a platform where current and aspiring medical students can gain the exposure and tools necessary to succeed in their healthcare journey! My Month:Freebie of the Month:Med InSIGHTs:Brianna Burton, MS2, Ponce School of Medicine Biggest Challenge: Studying for the MCAT was a significant challenge for me because I struggle with standardized testing and test anxiety. I overcame this by watching YouTube videos of other students who completed the MCAT and shared the same sentiments I did. I also documented my MCAT journey on social media and got so much support! Advisors in Medicine: I had an advisor that played a significant role in my medical journey but not in the way many would think. My premed advisor constantly discouraged me from applying and said “you would be a fool to continue with this process, don’t even try." I remember being so heartbroken because going to medical school has been one of my biggest goals since I started college. However, I used this discouragement as motivation to move forward with applying to medical school. Motivation: I always reflect back onto my “why” for going into medicine to begin with. That helps me stay motivated throughout. Favorite Resource: I highly suggest everyone in medicine read “Medical Apartheid” - it truly highlights the history of medical experimentation on Black Americans and how it impacts medicine today. Best Advice: Don’t let others discourage you from pursuing medicine. Everyone’s journey is unique. You’ll go through many struggles so it’s important to have supportive individuals in your corner. |
