By 8-9 years old, Dr. Shirag Shemmassian developed facial and vocal tics. He was later diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome and knew he had involuntary tics but was unable to stop them. Dr. Shemmassian attended an all Armenian private school where there was no understanding of what Tourette's syndrome was. His parents would tell him to just stop making the tics. He shares his insights that parents believe children are a reflection of themselves which can make it difficult for some parents to accept that their child has a condition that they are unable to relate to. Listen to Dr. Shemmassian's motivating story of how he has met with success through a lot of hard work and belief within his own capabilities.

“Learning how to position yourself to impress admissions committees and seeing that happen and then helping other people and then through word of mouth, someone telling someone else that they wanted to go into this field as well and really helping them, I think just further reinforced that my role was to help other people become wonderful physicians." - Dr. Shemmassian Dr. Shirag Shemmassian is the founder of Shemmassian Academic Consulting. He's one of the world's foremost experts on medical school admissions, college admissions and graduate school admissions. For nearly 20 years, he and his team have helped thousands of students get into medical school and top colleges using his systematic and proprietary approach. A lot of our physician listeners may get questions often, but there also may be parents listening who have high-school-age kids thinking about where they're going to apply to undergraduate school. Or they may have kids who are pre-med in college applying to medical school. Here, Dr. Shemmassian shares his wisdom and gives us insights into the process, which can often be stressful and overwhelming. From a young age, Dr. Shemmassian knew he wanted to go into healthcare. His immigrant parents were always talking about going to school and getting a job in a helping profession to earn a living. He really enjoyed science and was always drawn toward medicine. when I was in college, I was pre-med the whole time and taking all my courses, I did quite well. However, as someone who grew up with Tourette's Syndrome, over time, he was nudged towards psychiatry and mental health. When he graduated, Dr. Shemmassian decided to make a pivot and did his Ph.D. in clinical psychology rather than go to medical school. Even when he was in college, he was helping people get into medical schools and things like that. His parents didn't know how to navigate the educational system here in the states. Continuing to help others around him get into schools further reinforced that his role was to assist people in becoming wonderful physicians. In this engaging conversation, we discuss whether a school's status or prestige plays a critical role in getting accepted into a good medical school. We also talk about combined programs and the difference between an M.D. and a D.O. Dr. Shemmassian shares his opinions on choosing between traditional medical school and P.A. school and who it would benefit. We wrap up with tips for nontraditional students who are interested in becoming a physician and what that admissions process could look like. What's Inside: School prestige and its impact on getting accepted into medical school. Differences between M.D. and D.O. programs. P.A. school and who it's best suited for. Tips for non-traditional students.

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore the ways in which feeling different from others makes us doubt ourselves and how it often pushes us to try to prove ourselves to those around us. My guest, Shirag Shemmassian, shares his personal journey of impostor syndrome as he grew up with Tourette Syndrome and worried that the opportunities presented to him were a function of his disability rather than his competence. Shirag and I explore the implications of this for others from historically marginalized groups, as well as strategies we can use to distinguish fact from the opinions and stories we tell ourselves that hold us back.

Diagnosed at age 8 with Touret syndrome, Doctor Shirag was born and raised by immigrant parents from lebanon. Throughout his young years, he had to challenge himself and get bullied by his classmate because of his many tics due to Touret. After receiving his diagnosis, he was able to validate his illness and start working on himself to cope with it and having to deal with this illness for the rest of his life. His dream to becoming an NBA basketball player didn't pan out so he had to put his energy into his studies and becoming a clinical psychologist. He succeeded greatly in everything he did in life despite having Touret and helped thousands of patients through their own journey dealing with mental illness. Even though many of his patients had also similar illness, his focus was in all type of mental issues. Dr Shirag is a very knowledgeable and down to earth man, husband and father of a 3 year old young boy. We share so many things in common, which is the love for helping others.

On this week’s episode of the PNC podcast, Dr. Shirag Shemmassian joins me to discuss a nonclinical career I’ve never considered before: academic consultant. Shirag was pre-med throughout his college career and planned to be a surgeon. But when the time came for him to apply to medical school, he decided to switch his focus to the area of his research, clinical psychology. With little direction when he began preparing to attend graduate school, he studied the process that he had to navigate on his own. And he began helping people with their applications 15 years ago. In 2015, he founded Shemmassian Academic Consulting as his way to help more struggling students. Now he employs dozens of part time consultants, many of whom are young physicians, to help students prepare for the MCAT and the arduous process of applying to medical school. Learn about this unique nonclinical moonlighting opportunity in today's interview.
