Melanin In Medicine

This week Flo and Kia discuss the new responsibilities that come with being medical students, how to efficiently set goals that you can achieve and how to kick those toxic habits!

White coat vibes! We talk about receiving our white coats and our new responsibilities as student doctors. We had a few interruptions (Astro barking and my iPad dying) but we powered through. Thank you all for your support and hopefully you enjoy the episode!

Kia and Flo give general advice to high school, premed, and applying students. Here we offer a tid-bit of hope for each group. We also give more interview info for those going on medical school interviews this year! Hopefully more students can relate to our info! Enjoy episode 30!

Wow this episode is packed! Episode 29 is pretty casual with some review of our pre-matriculation experience and how we plan to use that experience to prep for med school! We also got an amazing question from a listener! Many miles apart Flo and I each offer our advice and hopefully help many other curious listeners!

Episode 29! Kia sits with Keisha, a fellow rising M1, and we talk about the transition we’ve been experiencing moving into medical school. We also break down why it’s so important to think before you act in a professional conflict. Thank you all for tuning in and hope you enjoy! 🧡👩🏽‍⚕️👩🏿‍⚕️

What a special episode! Thank you, Harmony, for sharing so much about your journey! We sit down with M2 (MD/PHD) Harmony and discuss how she got into the MD/PHD program here at KU and we talk about how important it is to have confidence throughout this process! If you’re in a hurry make time for this episode!

Episode 26! Sorry it’s late guys, we have an exam this week 😔. This week we intended to discuss why it’s important to be involved in the community but basically it’s an episode about us needing to resolve our biases. We also discuss self-awareness (more bias talk) and how you shouldn’t be too wrapped up in image while in this journey. Don’t worry, it wraps up well at the end haha! Happy listening!

🥳🥳🥳 Episode 25! This week Flo and I had to have our new friend and classmate Amber (@amber_alert_88) on the show to break down how to network to the max! She drops a few hidden Jemisons from masters/post-bac to a full confrence where she made sure she was remembered! We also cover why it’s important to know what specific med schools require and of course how to prepare for medical school interviews! Hope you all enjoy!

Episode 24 is finally here! Flo and I talk about the crazy week we’ve had as we begin our medical school journey! We haven’t forgotten that it’s summer and to kick the season off we’re reminding you guys to enjoy your summer programs and maximize this opportunity! Last but not least we break down factors we considered when it came to retaking your MCAT! We’ve got a unique Mahoney Message this week so be sure to stay tuned!

On time and thriving! Episode 23 starts with the secondary sagas and us talking about what they are and why there terrible.
