I Matched Plastic Surgery. 5 things I’d Change As a Pre-Med

If I could go back and start my pre-med journey all over again, these are the 5 things I would do differently. As a Nigerian immigrant who went from CNA to medical student and eventually matched into Plastic Surgery, I made a lot of mistakes along the way. Some cost me time. Some cost me money. Some almost cost me my dream of becoming a doctor. In this video, I'm sharing the lessons I wish someone had told me when I was just getting started.
