Hi everyone
Welcome back to the MedSpeed Podcast. In today's episode, episode 6, I interviewed Rebecca Chung, a first year medical student at The University of the West Indies, Mona Campus in Jamaica. Rebecca shares her non-traditional route to medical school and gives us some incite into her day-to-day routine and how much first year of medical school has changed since I was in her shoes. Rebecca has also taken pride in helping students to achieve their goals of getting into medical school by sharing her experience and objective tips that helped her become successful in matriculating, through her Tiktok platform. I hope you enjoy this addition the podcast and look forward to more episodes in the near future!
