Listen "Lessons In Getting Into Medical School And Becoming A Doctor With Dr. Darren Chai"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I interview Dr. Darren Chai, a Resident Doctor in Canada and NSERC Undergraduate Student Award Recipient.
Beyond his genuine care for patients and unwavering commitment to their well-being, Darren is also passionate about helping undergraduate students with their pre-medical journey. This led him to start a venture aimed at assisting university students with admissions to medical schools in Canada.
What started as informal mentoring eventually grew to become CanadianPremed.ca: a one-stop shop that provides Canadian med-hopefuls with practical advice, application review services and high-quality practice interviews.
⯈ In this episode, you'll learn:
- Darren's journey to becoming a doctor and some advice to consider for emerging doctors
- How he got started in research as a pre-med student
- Darren's insights on common mistakes pre-med students make and how to avoid them
- His thoughts on the hardest part about getting into Medicine and how he helps med-hopefuls through mentorship
⯈ HIT PLAY to join the conversation!
