À propos de cet audio
Welcome to the third episode of The Med School Years podcast! In this episode, Sabrina Pescatore, a tenacious 3rd-year medical student at UTMB, on the path to a male-dominated orthopedic residency.
Sabrina shares her experiences navigating a male-dominated specialty, including the subtle (and not-so-subtle) challenges she faces. Discover her empowering motto, "You can hold the leg," and her practical advice for staying resilient. She also delves into the often-overlooked struggle of being a college student-athlete aspiring to medicine without institutional support, and the key to thriving in medical research: choosing projects you genuinely love.
