Let\'s talk about getting into medical school...

Getting into medical school is not easy, you will face numerous setbacks, and every now and then, you make mistakes and fail. But that doesn\'t imply your journey is over. We may learn from our past experiences and use them as a stepping stone to success.

In this week\'s episode of Lunch & Learn with Dr. Berry, we bring you Dr. Ren\\xe9e Volny Darko, an OB/GYN and founder of Pre-med Strategies, Inc. through which she runs her app-based program, MEdEq. MEdEq is dedicated to cultivating top-choice URM medical school applicants through pre-career development and diversity recruitment. Dr. Ren\\xe9e is shaking up the way diversity recruitment is done by helping to decrease the gap of knowledge and access between medical schools and pre-med students. She is also the author of the bestselling children\'s book, How Good Ol\' Dr. V Came to Be, and host of the Total Pre-med Makeover Podcast, Dr. Ren\\xe9e is spreading the word to all ages about how the tribulations of the pre-med journey can turn into triumph!

Today, we\'ll talk about Dr. Renee\'s journey, her company, pre-med strategies, the web-based program she uses for MedTech, and, most significantly, how the pre-med mindset is different now than what it was beforehand. Moreover, she will share her story of success despite all of the obstacles she faced.

-The strategies in getting into medical school.
