“I’m just so grateful to be in the position that I am, so that I can meet people like her and take care of her, and just feel like I found my calling. Because that honestly how I feel. I’ve connected with his flow of purpose, and it’s the best feeling in the world. And it makes all of this struggle worth it.” This week, we continue our conversation with Penn medical student, Allison Hare, who has an immense passion for caring for and connecting with others. In this episode, she shares the powerful story of a past patient’s miraculous recovery which helped her identify internal medicine as her true calling. Additionally, she provides insightful advice for new medical students, which is arguably applicable to anyone adventuring down a new path.

Lastly, we dive into the importance of examining personal motivations, reframing situations, and ultimately, starting with why.
