Hi, I'm Hafsa Slaiman, a 3rd-year medical student, wanderluster and extrovert. The problem though is that I hit more speed bumps than a formula one racer. Med school has proven to be far from Grey's Anatomy and as a person that plans my future to the last detail, my future has become more convoluted than the nephron. What keeps me going? My big dreams. This podcast reveals it all: my breakdowns, my fails, my first times, my solutions and fun medical stuff, so whether you’re a med student, premed, doc or even someone who just wants to get inspired come along and join me on my journey.
