Coming to us all the way from Irvine, California, we have Kayti Luu as this episode’s guest! She talks about her childhood, which was rooted in her strong Asian heritage, and how experiences in the hospital affirmed her desire to go into medicine. We discuss the infamous premed obstacle that is the MCAT and how she worked to overcome it. With a strong desire to train local physicians, JABSOM typically has only around 10 out-of-state matriculants every year – Kayti  brings an interesting perspective to JABSOM Journeys as our first out-of-state guest and sheds light on her experiences adjusting to JABSOM and life in Hawaii.
