Not An Expert At 20

In this episode I speak with Karishma Shah, a second year medical student at the University of California Irvine. Karishma is a graduate of UCLA, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics. She has demonstrated leadership in various capacities, including co-founding Pathways Education, serving as Vice President of the Watts Tutoring Program, and acting as Vice President of Outreach for UV&me—an organization focused on educating youth about skin cancer and skin protection. Karishma has gained valuable experience in hospital systems, interning in the oncology department at UCLA Health, and has contributed to published medical research. Currently, she is engaged in several research projects while preparing for the STEP 1 exam. Her exemplary work ethic, academic discipline, and motivational excellence serve as inspiration for others. In today's episode, Karishma and I delve into a variety of essential topics for success such as time management, goal setting, journaling, work ethic, and accountability. We also discuss motivation during times of low productivity and provide insights into the day-in-the-life of a medical student. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey as we explore these building blocks for success.
