Dear Patient with Mohammad Aref

As people from diverse backgrounds in medicine, one of the first labels we get is “underrepresented in medicine”, URM. Ironically a designation meant to carve a space for us, also makes us feel othered. This podcast is designed to breathe life into the nuances that are flattened by data points med schools use on their websites. Our experiences enrich but go beyond medicine. This podcast lives in our collective humanity; it is an ode to our thriving. A re-affirmation that yes URM, You Are Med, you belong here.
