“Brief” (was supposed to be brief) introduction of me, abi. TLDR I’m a fourth year medical student currently on a leave of absence who likes writing, travel, nutrition, and dogs. I introduce this podcast which will include: Tips for premeds and med students, writing advice, rambling about silly stories from the wards, diving into bizarre and interesting medical facts, and just having a good time. I’m working on getting used to talking to myself so bear with me 🐻. INSTAGRAM: @abisanatomy
