Medical training may look different across the world, but the doubts feel the same.

In this episode of Becoming MD, I sit down with an international medical student Rebecca Wanderer finishing up her clinical years who reflects on surviving the first two years of medical school. We talk openly about imposter syndrome, feeling “not good enough,” and the self-doubt that follows many premeds and medical students through preclinical training.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How to build study habits that carry you through exams when motivation and confidence are low
• How to confront burnout, comparison, and imposter syndrome without letting them define your progress
• How to stay grounded in your calling to medicine and keep moving forward when doubt creeps in

This episode is for anyone navigating medical school, preparing for exams, or questioning whether they belong in medicine. If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone.
