In this episode, we talk with Dr. Kabir Al-Tariq, MD. Dr. Al-Tariq is a graduate of Georgetown University School of Medicine and is currently in his transitional year before beginning dermatology residency at the University of Massachusetts. Dr. Al-Tariq gives us a very inspirational story, discussing perseverance from reapplying to medical school 3 times to suffering a near blinding injury during his third-year rotations. Dr. Al-Tariq also discusses his own application to dermatology and why having a love for the field matters most when applying. Listen in for an invigorating story and how to reframe mentality, even in the hardest of times.
