Meghan Tveit, MS4: The Healer's Journey, Episode Seven | The Healing Grove Podcast

The Healing Grove Podcast

This week I am excited to share the seventh interview I had with Meghan Tveit, who is now a fourth year medical student (MS4). In this conversation she tells us about her family medicine rotation, her last rotation as a third year student. She also gives us a glimpse into what her fourth year will look like.
It has been awhile since we have heard from Meghan, so in case you need a reminder of who she is, and what she is up to, read on!
Meghan Tveit is now a fourth year medical student at George Washington School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. She graduated from Harvard in 2020, and spent almost two months living with our family during the lock-down (probably because my family includes her boyfriend, Mahlon). During that time, I really got to know Meg, and found her intelligence, compassion, empathy, curiosity, and authenticity an inspiration, and hope for the future of medicine. I've been incredibly grateful for Meg's willingness to share her journey through medical education in these little installments, as they provide glimpses into the usually hidden journey of becoming a doctor.
