This week I share the first half of my conversation with Professor Patrick Murray host of the UCD School of Medicine MGA Clinical Influencers Podcast series. I relive my experience as a student of UCD and reminisce about the people who made my time there such a memorable experience.

I discuss how my family inspired me to go into medicine, my early days as a student, and some of the cramped living situations that, in retrospect, led to some of the best days of my life. I remember the people, both the professors and fellow students, who taught me about more than just medicine.
