Description:
Welcome to Surviving Medicine, the podcast that takes you into the mind of the best and brightest premedical and medical students, residents and physicians discussing where Medical Education is today and the future of healthcare tomorrow.
Each week we bring you an inside look at how to survive medical education and how to thrive as a practicing physician balancing work, patients, family and friends.
My name is Frank Cusimano, your host, a third-year medical student and third year PhD student – with a passion for anything health, wellness, medical education, and healthcare related.
Before we begin, I want to take a moment to thank you, our listeners, for listening in and providing feedback. If you have not already make sure you subscribe to the podcast on The ITunes App and leave a review. Also for today’s podcast, I really want to apologize for the sound quality and background noise. We recorded this with our original audio equipment, which as you will see is not the best. To be honest, we considered trying to re-record this episode because of the quality, but as you know medical students and professional athletes are already so busy that we decided to keep it.
Today we are joined by a very special guest, Kamali Thompson. While many of you may not know her, you will soon. Kamali was the 2016 US National Champion in Fencing and was an alternate for the 2016 Olympic Games. Kamali is a third-year medical student and MBA student currently doing research with hopes to become an orthopedic surgeon and make the 2020 US Olympic team. In this interview, we dive deep discussing the business of medicine, balancing medical school with being a professional athlete, and how to stay focused on your future. I thing you guys are really going to like this one.
Kamali truly is an inspiration and I could not be more excited to follow her journey in the upcoming years and watch her make the 2020 Olympic team. I promise we will get her back on here.
