The Journey Through Med Podcast

As part of the #BehindHerMask book series, I had one of my beta readers in this last episode of the series.

Dr. Noreen is an OBGYN resident at Dalian Medical University in China and an absolutely amazing writer. From a young age, Dr. Noreen has been writing poems, stories, and novels. She shares her journey as a final-year medical resident and as my beta reader. To her, finding the purpose of your passion with diligence nurtures your passion, whatever it might be.

Your journey is always a story worth telling.

Hello there,

If you are considering self-publishing, then this episode is for you.

Share this episode with whom it may encourage to publish that book they have been holding on to.

Your journey is a story worth telling.

Experience, they say, is the best teacher.

In this episode, I share my hectic yet fulfilling journey to self-publishing my first book. At the end of it all, the prize was worth the price.

As always, your journey is a story worth telling.

What started as a figment of my imagination is now my reality. In this episode, I share the big project that took my entire 2025: my book!

'Behind Her Mask,' an evocative memoir, is a story of dreams, life as an international student in China, and experiencing the bittersweet beauty of perseverance throughout the journey. It is a testament of hope and how we can find strength and purpose even in the most unconventional ways.

For now, the paperback is only available in China.

As always, your journey is a story worth telling.

After a rather long unintentional sabbatical, we are back...and still evolving.

Happy 2026, everyone!

In this episode, I share

• our spotify wrapup for 2025
• my internship journey
• lessons from my fav book in 2025
• something big to expect

I wish you have a blissful 2026 as you invest in yourself and impact others.

Until the next episode,

Keep evolving because your journey is a story worth telling.

Every setback is a setup for success.

In this episode, our guest, Dr. Nana Misonu, a prospective medical house officer in Ghana, talks about his journey of resilience in navigating the GMDC License Exam and passing on his fourth try.

Have you experienced failure in any aspect? Remember, it’s not the end, but an opportunity to grow stronger and wiser. Ask for help when you need it and stay positive! There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Hello, everyone! It has been the longest minute.

Guess what? I've started my clinical rotations, or 'internship,' as we call them in China. In this episode, I discuss how it all began, how things have progressed thus far, and how to navigate your clinical rotations as an international medical student.

• Familiarize yourself with Chinese medical terminology
• Make yourself visible
• Ask questions, show up, and take advantage of the one-year ride
• Above all, trust God with your journey.
