Description: https://research.metaanalysisacademy.... In MetaCast #38, we host Mariana Niño, a Colombian physician who matched into Internal Medicine in New York while simultaneously building a global fashion brand. From Bogotá to Boston and now New York, Mariana shares the realities of balancing entrepreneurship, research, USMLE preparation, and the demanding journey of becoming an IMG physician in the United States. In this episode, we explore how she transitioned from medical school in Colombia to clinical observerships in the U.S., her research fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the process of matching into residency while managing a company shipping products to more than 15 countries worldwide. Mariana also explains how entrepreneurship unexpectedly became one of the most memorable aspects of her residency application and interviews. We also discuss the importance of resilience, leadership, networking, and research, especially meta-analysis, in building a competitive residency application as an IMG. Mariana shares how learning to solve problems under pressure, prioritize long-term goals, and embrace uncertainty shaped both her business and medical career.
