Navigating life as a pre-medical student can be tough. There are so many options for doing premed life the "right way" that it can be hard to find what's right for you. As my time in medical school winds down, I've spent some time reflecting on the journey that has gotten me to this point, just a couple of months away from starting psychiatry residency.
In this series, I will provide premed advice related to some of the aspects of the premed journey that I think I offer unique insights on. There are SO MANY premed blogs out there that there's no reason for me to create redundant content. Instead, I want to share with you some uncommon pointers on important premed topics.
Below you will find a list of the topics that I plan to cover in this series. I'm calling this series the Premed Corner because it represents just one section of the content that I share on my blog. However, thanks to all of your emails, tweets, and Instagram DMs, I've realized that you're interested in learning about my experiences as a premed. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will update this page with the link to each new post as it goes live. So make sure to bookmark this page for future reference!
