What if you could seamlessly balance medical school, public health interests, and research experiences? Join me this week as I chat with future Dr. Antoinette Charles from Duke University School of Medicine, who shares her fascinating journey doing just that. We dive into how Duke’s curriculum allows for a focused pre-clinical year and a very focused second year on clinical rotations. This enabled her to pursue her Master in Public Health degree as a third year, taking classes related to healthcare reform, public health interventions, and policy analysis. Dr. Charles also discusses her future goals in advocating for patients and her interests in sports injury prevention and orthopedic surgery.

But, how did Dr. Charles get to where she is today? In the second part of our conversation, she opens up about how she maintains the balance between her academic endeavors and her personal life, even as a medical student. Don’t miss our rapid-fire Bolus Round: a Q&A where she shares her favorite black-owned restaurants in Atlanta and other fun tidbits. Tune in and get inspired by Dr. Charles’ impressive path and dedication to making a difference in the world of medicine.
