Episode 5: A Chat with Angie Choudhury, medical student, and Eileen Bowden, MD

In this episode, I get to hang with Angie Choudhury and her sister, Eileen Choudhury Bowden. Angie is a rising fourth-year medical student at the University of Texas-Rio Grande applying for residency in ophthalmology this fall, while Eileen is finishing up her fellowship in Glaucoma at the world-renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami. These two share both a sisterly bond and love for ophthalmology, but also support each other for who they are as individuals. I had a blast laughing with them and getting to know them as people. Angie's persistence to seek opportunities in ophthalmology stem from her hunger to make it in the field without a home ophthalmology program, something we related with each other on. With the guidance of an older sibling who is a polished soon to be Glaucoma specialist, along with Angie's grit and determination, I have a feeling she will be making her move this year! Go get them, Angie, you have a friend in me rooting for you.
