What can you work on before the application process starts? Network with SNMA officers at the schools where you want to attend. Refine your personal narrative and your reasons to pivot away from law. What do you want to do in medicine given your past accomplishments?

Thank you for your feedback and the school suggestions! I appreciate both of your insights.

I will look into SNMA, I didn't know about that before. By SNMA officers you mean students from the school chapters, right? (Sorry if that is a silly question).

To answer your question about why I want to change careers, I always had tangential interests in healthcare but in undergrad thought the pre-med pathway was too restrictive for my other curiosities in international relations and learning about systems level, structural issues. Pursuing those passions brought me to law, which I found challenging and interesting but quite attenuated on a day to day basis from the communities I care about. I then had a personal health challenge and the relationship with my doctor was really significant for me.

In medicine, a dream job would be to see patients in a longitudinal specialty and have a leadership role in a public hospital system or FQHC while also contributing to advocacy efforts. I'm particularly interested in working with justice-involved and displaced (unhoused, immigrant, etc) populations.

For sure, yes. But any of the leadership should be friendly. 🙂
