Overcoming Obstacles: Road to Becoming a Physician with Clarence Sams
Manage episode 430012262 series 3474372
Welcome everyone to the Melanin Initiative!
Today we're talking to special guest, Clarence Sams, MS2 in this series called: Becoming a Physician. We're going to follow his journey to becoming a physician. Each semester he will return to share his experience as we watch his career, vision, and practice evolve.
A physician is a medical professional who has been trained to diagnose, treat, and manage diseases and injuries. Physicians are also responsible for providing preventive care and promoting healthy lifestyles.
This is his 3rd episode, and we are also happy to have Shanell Fairley, a student at Norfolk State University, join us to ask more questions for Clarence. Here, we will learn about his medical school life updates, medical school tips, and get a peek into joining mentorships, preceptorships, and more opportunities.
