CODE MAIZE: A Podcast for Future Wolverines in Healthcare

Health professions graduate programs can be expensive, and the recent changes in federal financial aid regulations may limit the ability for some to pay for those programs.  Join us as we speak with recruiters and health care professionals from the US Army and Navy to discuss scholarship opportunities available through the Department of Defense.  LtCol Noel (USA), LCDR McKim (USN), and Chief Oswald (USN) walk us through those funding options, practice opportunities available in the different services, and how you might qualify for those scholarships.

Join Devak Nanua and Piroz Bahar, M3 medical students at the University of Michigan, as they share their experiences and reflect on what has been most meaningful to them along the way. This episode covers a range of topics related to how it feels to go through medical school. Don't miss a chance to hear from medical students who are currently in the process of becoming physicians to learn what their perspectives may hold for you.
