039: Getting into Med/Pharmacy School As An International Student - W/ Dr. Sheila Enoh & Dr. Idris Yakubu

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, we have Dr. Sheila Enoh and Dr. Idris Yakubu back with us to continue the conversation on their road to success as international students with the focus on how they got into professional school in the US. Being African and an international student trying to get into Pharmacy or Med school definitely presents the case of a double minority as a foreigner and not eligible for financial aid. Most Pharmacy and Med school programs will not even look at your application if you are an international student and that obviously decreases your odds. Nonetheless, if you can dream it, you can STILL achieve it. And that is what we are here to speak about today.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Enoh and Dr. Yakubu will hopefully inspire and encourage you with their story of blood, sweat and tears, but what is most important is that they didn’t give up. You, too, can make it if you don’t give up. As a wise woman once said, your dreams are valid. We hope this episode encourages anyone who has hopes of achieving their dreams even when all odds seem to be against them.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>MEET OUR GUESTS:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Sheila Enoh, MD MPH 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.
