In this week’s episode, we sit down with Samer Wahood, a graduating medical student from the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, who successfully matched into dermatology at Emory University. Samer takes us through his full journey: from community work and a bioethics background that defined his application, to away rotations, mentorship, and what the interview season looked like. He closes with honest reflections on what truly differentiated his application and what he wishes every aspiring dermatologist knew before starting the process. We hope you enjoy!
