In this episode of ID Spotlight, we learn about Andrew’s fascinating path to medicine. Andrew shares with us the multiple lives he’s led in his 33 years so far. From throwing bales of hay on a farm, to working four jobs simultaneously in university, to training physicians on media junkets, to painting his daughters’ nail, Andrew has done it all. In this candid conversation, Andrew doesn’t hold back as we explore his journey from being pulled out of grade 12 academic math for “not being smart enough” to his relentless dedication in ultimately pursuing medicine.
