About this episode
Sheherya Ali discusses his journey in medicine and the influence of his parents on his career choices.
Today on the RealMD Podcast we are joined by Sheherya Ali, a second year MD/MPH student at the University of Texas, Medical Branch at Galveston. In this episode, Sheherya shares how the influence of his mother and father help shape his dual passions for buisnes and medicine. And, how he ultimately chose to pursue a career in healthcare. From his diverse premed experiences to his thoughtful approach to decision making, one question consistently guided him: Do I enjoy what I am doing, and do I find purpose in it?
