About the Episode

LifeBlood: We talked about how to get into medical school, the current landscape for admittance, how a career as a physician has changed and what’s the same, and how to position yourself for success.

We discussed how Shirag’s personal experience led to many others asking for his advice on how to get into medical school, which eventually led to company and expertise.

We talked about how many people apply to medical school every year, how many get in, how many US citizens go to school internationally, and how many international students come to school in the US.

We discussed how changes in health insurance have impacted the profession and interest in the profession, how the need for new physicians is always growing with no sign of stopping.  

We talked about what the key criteria are for getting into medical school, when to start preparing for it, how to know if it’s even something you want to do, and why doing it is a lot harder than it seems with Dr. Shirag Shemmassian, Founder of Shemmassian Academic Consulting, one of the foremost experts on medical school and graduate school admissions.
