What is it like learning from a hospital bed, hooked up to IV poles and medications? What does being a non-traditional medical student mean? And most importantly, what is medicine like from the perspective of a patient and a future healthcare provider? In this video, you will have the honor to meet an extraordinary young woman whose journey to medicine was by no means easy. As a survivor of Stage III endocervical cancer, she - against all odds - battled the relentless disease and demanding courseworks of medical school simultaneously. With fire in her heart as she speaks, we listen to Kristen as she recounts her experience from being underdiagnosed to finally having a diagnosis and finally coming to terms with her cancer diagnosis as well as the solidification of her lifelong dream of pursuing medicine.
