Why do I coach?
I coach because I've had wonderful mentors and sponsors along my journey as a cardiologist. Moreover, I've served on medical school admissions committees, residency selection programs and was a Program Director for a Cardiology sub specialty fellowship. Altogether, I have a valuable perspective on what helps applicants distinguish themselves as they pursue a meaningful career in medicine.
