Welcome to UMich Med Mosaic, a podcast hosted by medical students, for medical students – and those who aspire to be!
UMich Med Mosaic is a student-run podcast that explores perspectives on pursuing a career in medicine – with all the excitement, anxiety, and fulfillment that comes with that decision. We delve into the stories of our University of Michigan Medical School community’s diverse backgrounds and experiences. We explore how their histories have intersected with their decision to start med school and impact the type of doctor they are becoming.
We also take a deeper look at the realities of medical training, and how students navigate the intense demands of education while still finding purpose, fulfillment and a sense of identity in the process. Whether it is through mentorship, personal growth or moments of inspiration, we seek to understand what keeps students grounded and motivated along the way.
Through these conversations, we hope to build our community and share some helpful insights and lessons that might resonate with future medical students, healthcare professionals and anyone interested in the human side of medicine.
