August 11, 2026·1h 4m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Dr. Kaveh Hoda is joined by his nephew, intern Ali — in a last ditch effort to convince him to go to med school — and Dr. Anika Warner, a board-certified internist, NIH fellow, and admissions consultant at Inspira Advantage.They tackle the big questions: should you go to medical school? How do you get in? Dr. Warner draws on her time serving on the Johns Hopkins admissions committee to share what actually makes a strong application, why your personal narrative matters more than a checklist of activities, and the only real "wrong" reason to apply. The group also covers gap years, the med school vs. PA school debate, AI in the application process, and listener questions on finances, older applicants, and staying politically active online.Honest, practical, and a little bit funny — Make sure to share with someone in your life that might be considering med school!
