  • Amazing Podcast! All “PreMed Years” podcasts are amazing!

    I recommend Dr. Ryan Gray’s podcasts to my premed students. Students learn best by hearing directly from the med students and physicians as they share their stories and testimonies on this podcast. PRICELESS!

  • Not very motivating

    Listening to some of these podcasts, when people are asking questions, the host is NOT very respectful. I thought that he acted very down on some of the med students or acted as they were stupid. I did not enjoy.
