In this week’s episode, we present our amazing colleague Aniruddha Shekara. Ani’s episode was fascinating for many reasons. This interview has been long time coming , hence why we are so excited to share our conversation with Ani. Recently there has been an increased call to action for physicians that possess the wherewithal to translate research from the bench and leverage that in providing the best care to patients. This call has since been amplified due to the apparent need to enhance scientific communication proficiency in light of the kaleidoscope of opinions littered in the discourse surrounding COVID-19. We should worry not because Ani is on the MD/PhD path. We invite you this week to witness how incredible of a person Ani is and why the future of healthcare is bright simply because he endeavors to help change the world as we know it. He shares with us the thinking behind his decision-making on switching from a premed to becoming a physician-scientist. The additional experiences he sought to make himself a competitive applicant and more were discussed. For this and many more, enjoy this week's episode!
