About This Podcast

The journey to and through medicine is chaotic, stressful, and daunting. Yet, thousands work tirelessly every single day for medical school acceptances and successful physician jobs. But, why… Listen to practicing doctors and those in training share their journeys of "why", how they've found success, and those "I wish I knew this before" life hacks. Hosted by Dr. Alana Jasper-Trotter (Dr. Trot), a surgeon by training and stubborn dreamer at her core.
