"I'm going to go against the grain of what I've taken to be as my norm, which shouldn't be my norm with criticizing myself too much and not believing in myself. And I'm going to fight against that..." Powerful words said by Chris Wachuku, a senior medical student who is moments away from starting his dermatology residency.

On today's episode, we talk about:

  • How to overcome being your own worst enemy and self-criticism.
  • Depression and medical school.
  • The anxiety that can come with being a minority in medicine and how being "othered" can negatively impact you emotionally, how people perceive you and even your performance.
  • What he would do to increase his chances of matching into dermatology if he had to go through the application cyclce again.

And more!
