037: The International Student Experience - W/ Dr. Sheila Enoh & Dr. Idris Yakubu

This week’s episode is dedicated to all international students and any African who has hopes to migrate to the US (and the diaspora as a whole) for studies. We have two very knowledgeable guests Dr. Sheila Enoh, MD MPH and Dr. Idris Yakubu, PharmD who both started off as international students in the US. They share their experiences from applying to college, going to the US embassy for their F1 visa interview, migrating to the US, as well as valuable lessons they learned in college. If you or anybody you know plans on migrating to the US but doesn't know where to start, then this episode is for you! <p>We hope that this episode is very resourceful to you and your loved ones. As former international students, these are definitely things that we wish we knew prior to migrating to the US and we hope that these experiences can help someone in the pursuit of their dreams in the US. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Meet Our Guests</strong></span></p> <p><strong>Dr. SHEILA ENOH, MD MPH</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> was born and raised in Yaounde, Cameroon.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">She moved to the US at the age of 18 to attend college as an international student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for her undergraduate studies.
