My Top 3 Pre-Med Podcast Recommendations

1. The Undifferentiated Medical Student by Ian Drummond

• My Favorite Take-Away: Look into yourself (your strengths, your weaknesses) and pursue what peaks your interest.

• Host, Ian Drummond, describes many specialties as either a "mile wide, inch deep or inch wide, mile deep" in referring the knowledge required for each specialty.

• Woah woah woah... Why include a podcast about medical specialties for PRE-MED podcast recommendations??? In all honesty, I stumbled across this podcast while at work and decided to test it out, and found myself listening for hours. Drummond interviews established doctors in a plethora of medical specialties which provides listeners with a preview into different categories of medicine. Use this interesting podcast as a pre-med for not only inspiration but also to learn more about yourself.

2. Dear PreMed by Dear PreMed (Mary Tate)

• My Favorite Take-Away: Spoken beautifully by Mary Tate, "you are good enough" and "newsflash, there isn't a cookie cutter premed" (Mary Tate).

• Conducted by a fourth year Harvard medical student, Mary Tate's podcast includes a unique feature where she asks her guests to read a letter to their pre-med self.

3. How I Built This With Guy Raz by NPR

• My Favorite Take-Away: Each episode, Guy Raz interviews well established entrepreneurs and asks his guests the question, "how much do you attribute your success to luck or hard work?"

• Although this podcast lacks any literal medical relevance, I included it because of its importance to self-motivation, drive, hard work, intelligence, and ingenuity.

Have fun listening!
