Getting Into Med School on the 7th Try – A Doctor’s Story of Perseverance

Ever wondered how persistence and resilience can help you get into medical school after multiple rejections? In this episode, I interview Dr. Alain Gauthier, a doctor who applied to medical school seven times before he finally got in. He shares his inspiring story and offers valuable advice on overcoming rejection, staying hopeful, and pushing forward no matter the obstacles.

You’ll hear about his powerful story and how music, particularly U2's "Zoo Station," kept him resilient during tough times. The lyrics of this song helped him stay focused and motivated through his final med school interview.
