Welcome to the first episode of Growing Pains! This month, we sat down with two MD3 students to talk about the role of ambition in their lives as they undergo their medical training - including:

🏆What does being ambitious mean to us? Where does it go wrong?

🥇Feeling misunderstood for your ambition

🏥 Why do we sometimes hesitate to admit we are ambitious?

🎉 How do we talk about and celebrate our successes without alienating others?

💙 How important is ambition in our relationships?

Interviewees:

Rachel Tobin is a MD3 and is the current MEDUSA Vice President. Throughout her medical training, Rachel has raised through the ranks of our student representative body, showing exemplary leadership and initiative in each of her roles.

Jen Cleary is an MD3 and former professional rower, who trained and competed in the 2016 Olympics while applying to get into medicine and starting her physio degree.
