MD & Bachelor's Degree in 6 YEARS? | Emergency Medicine Physician/UMKC BA/MD Program Alumni | ND MD

On this special interview, I have the great pleasure of talking with Dr. Meryll Pampolina, an emergency medicine physician at University of Missouri Kansas City and alumni of the 6-year BA/MD program at UMKC. Yes you heard that right, SIX YEARS ONLY. I thought finishing your bachelor's degree in 3 years was impressive but to do it in 2 and go straight into medical school is not for the faint of heart. In this interview, Dr. Pampolina outlines the general structure of the UMKC 6 Year BA/MD program then shares her experience during the program both as a student, and now as a full emergency medicine attending physician. Listen to her candid advice and awesome stories to see if this accelerated medical program is right for you! Also I know that the video and audio are not up to my usual standards but you can blame microsoft teams for that :/. Hope you are still able to enjoy and thank Dr. Pampolina for her time and awesome advice!

If you have any more questions about the UMKC Program, feel free to reach out to Dr. Pampolina (pls don't spam her and be respectful as you are talking to a licensed medical professional. thank you!):
