We're back for Match May! Every other week there will be a new episode with an amazing incoming resident physician as we discuss their journey through the Match process. This week our guest is Alia McKean, MPH, a soon-to-be graduate from the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Touro University, California and future Pediatric Resident Physician at UCSF Fresno. Alia discusses the early career experiences that led her to pursue medicine, her struggles and successes as a medical student, and advice on how to best navigate this challenging profession (especially as an introvert). Don't miss this episode!
At the time of the podcast recording and publishing, Dr. McKean was a medical student; however, she is now an official Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Congratulations to Dr. Alia McKean!
