Description

Welcome to MedChat, the podcast where science meets students. I’m Leila, a high school student who’s always been curious about what medicine and healthcare really look like beyond textbooks. In this show, I sit down with doctors, scientists, researchers, and alumni to hear their real stories, including their challenges, success, and the moments that shaped their paths. MedChat is about learning from those who’ve lived it, so students like us can better understand what a future in healthcare comes down to.
