My interview with Madelynn was incredibly informative and beneficial for me as a future medical student. Understanding how she overcomes challenges allowed me to assess my own behaviors and how I can improve my mindset in regards to mistakes, whether personal or academic mistakes. I feel I learned more about what it is like to be a medical student, as well as ways in which I can prepare for my own journey to becoming a physician. Her advice regarding how I can improve my experience as an undergraduate student by enjoying my time and those around me has already influenced my choices. I feel what I learned will stick with me as I progress through my journey.
